Hi,
I would like to know whether it's ok to adopt the respective platform's coding style in the WebKit API that a port exposes. I am working on the Haiku port and saw that other ports do this, but I thought I'd better ask before I introduce changes that may eventually be rejected. :-)

For the Chromium WebKit API, we decided to go with the WebKit coding style (instead of Google C++ style used by Chromium), so that it would be easier for the WebKit community to maintain . I think that has been helpful, and I bet you'd probably benefit from doing the same. This way people working in the WebKit codebase only need to know one set of rules. At any rate, I believe you are free to make it match another style as Evan pointed out, but I thought it worth sharing our positive experience w/ using WebKit style. Regards, -Darin
