Arthur, I'd suppose this is more influence of code refactoring and eXtreme

Just my 2 kopecks...

The MS folks seem to have moved to this convention largely due to the work
of Steve McConnell (Code Complete), where he argues that copying and pasting
code is much easier when you don't have to hunt around for the declarations.

It used to be.  There seems to be a growing trend towards 
"decentralisation" rather than "consolidation" of declarations.

Now we have "Block Scoped variables" in  VB.Net which *have* to be declared 
in the middle of code and many MS code examples now declare all variables 
immediately before first use. 

Anyone for another round of Bound/Unbound or Surrogate/Natural et al which 
we're at it?  :-)
