One thing that I think would help a lot is if you define your 
standards in terms of options to indent -- that way you can just 
enforce them programmatically -- i.e. before code gets checked in, 
indent is automatically run on the file. At the shop I work in, we 
just use this "pre-check-in checking" to make sure that the copyright 
notices are up to date. 

Also, I don't know if emacs has a similar thing, but I know that 
(g)vim supports having a comment line at the top of a file for 
per-file settings, which could be useful to help make the process 
brainless.
