We use to enforce (in reviews) a rule where if a side of an if/elseif/else is braced, all the sides should be braced. In general I think it makes sense from a readability point of view, and can prevent cases where the else body may be wrongly intepreted; for example bug 1528486. It would also not prevent people from using non braced constructs, provided all the sides are non braced.
