With all due respect, but it will take a lot more than a code beautifier to actually to give the code some decent standard. The problem is not just that the code doesn't follow standards but its just a complete and utter mess in some area's.
For example: If you ever take a venture into the blocks admin area, you will soon understand that the readability of this is terrible. Plus add to that the confusion of having two classes just to deal with it, and rather than using the kernel class mechanism to deal with deletes, saves and updates, it uses the other version in the class folder. Not good.
Xoops is the only framework that I know that doesn't have a class or method dedicated to input filtering, instead we leave it to the developers discretion and that doesn't always yield the best result.
But, anyway, this discussion will almost seem defunct since DJ is writing version 3 and there should be a class to deal with this. Well, I hope so anyway.
