[net.ai] LISP coding standards

Is anyone aware of any official LISP coding standards comparable to
the standards for Pascal, Ada, etc?  Folks at my new employer have
been looking...

Look at Guy Steele's book Common Lisp.  All Lisps seem to be going
in this direction, implementing as large a subset of Common Lisp as
is possible.  It's my understanding that Symbolics will be releasing
a new version of its system that will default to Common Lisp this
summer (instead of having to specify it in the mode line).
