Actually, I didn't want to suggest one style over another when writing that
chapter. I just wanted to teach the latest style (and, AFAIK, the
recommended style by Paolo). There are a whole lot of discussions about this
new syntax on archive of the mailing list which you can reach here:

http://n4.nabble.com/forum/Search.jtp?query=new+syntax&days=0&node=1290346

I am myself planning to go through the old messages to get a better
understanding of the differences between the two syntax and to learn whether
there are still any reasons to use the old syntax.
