Hi Carl,

   1. afaik, the language requires it.  Try creating a class with the
      first letter in lower case, and see what happens.

   2. Probably a matter of personal style or taste.  I usually read it
      as somethng like:

         for form = <each element of x (whatever x is),  do
            statement
            statement
            statement
        end

Hope this helps.
Dennis
