Some things were covered in the old howto (for those who
can't remember, see the history of howto.xml in the root of
phpdoc). These were mainly function naming standards,
that are part of the php-dev work standards, and not phpdoc
conventions. The only rule stayed is the use 4 spaces rule.
Where can we find other "standards" developed in the
past for phpdoc?

OK, if you can show a written down standard somewhere,
even if it was somewhere there in the history, but now not
active, we can start off from that...
