I have used a Seasonic Power Angel to measure a variety of devices.
One of the best standby performances I've found was my Dell 24" LCD monitor. When the computer turned off the display, it was under the measurable lower limit of 1W for the meter.
The worst standby behavior was my Sharp Aquos HD TV - it drew around 60W. I put it on a plug strip right away. A side affect is that the built in TV Guide feature doesn't keep up to date but at around $75/year per 100W, that puts the TV Guide feature as costing approximately $50/year in energy. More than I want to spend on it.
Aficionados of Haiku say they like it because it frees them to concentrate on meaning rather than form. The form is specified.
Personally, I like the syntactic whitespace for these same reasons.
So much time has been wasted debating coding styles that I am happy to have it pre-specified and dealt with. We can then move on to more important issues of content.

Syntactic whitespace reminds me of the rules of "Haiku", the Japanese poetry style.
