Yes, and they'll be inconsistent, but matches existing style.  For starters:

For NASM code:

	- two tab indent, no tab between opcode and operands
	- ; comments
	- Use "section .foo"; section flags to in layout.inc

For GAS code:

	- one tab indent, tab between opcode and operands
	- C-style comments
	- in most cases, labels go on the line before
	- use `.section ".foo","flags"' not .text, .data etc
	- we may want to have an include file for section macros
