I understand the aesthetics as it does make the code look a little cleaner, and we can do this with a lot of our functions.  However, there are several instances where one declaration initialization depends on a previous declaration, and trying to organize by line length breaks these relationships.  Do you mind if we're not perfect on following this one?

Also, perhaps I haven't watched closely enough, but I don't remember seeing this comment on other code.  Is this a new recommendation that will be going into the CodingStyle document?

Thanks,
