The problem is the wp code *doesn't* follow the pear standards as far as 
I can tell.

For example, the PEAR standard states:
"Class names should always begin with an uppercase letter" 
(http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.naming.php)

Examples of wp class names: xmlrpc_client,  wpdb

Right now it seems like wp coding standards are "self-documenting", that 
is, you just look at the code and try to copy the style the best you can.
