Pure AV,
your Second scheme does make sense,
But, I don't beleive in that sense. :P
I just think that, if all the fonts are there, you should do it in one line, which is allowed in css! :O
Code:
.p
{
font: verdana, 12px, bold;
/*or*/
margin: 0 0 10px 11px;
}
Stuff like that's always a must. :P

Lol well erm...I never said anything about fonts. I just showed width/height and padding/margin. I do know shorthand css but that wasn't my point 
Perhaps this example is more understandable:
Code:
.coolExample {
width: 10px; height: auto;
margin: 0 1px 0 1px; padding: 0 0 5px 0;
line-height: 20px; letter-spacing: 2px; }
You see? The idea is to put similar attributes on the same line wether they are shorthand or not 
Peace, Lance

Agreed. I code PHP in this way as well, it makes things much easier to read for me. Once you start using your decided 'coding standard' it's hard to move away from it.
If you have a huge block of code within curly braces (especially common in php ifs) then its much easier to distinguish between the start and end of the braces.

The indent styles all have names, I use the Allman style which is like:
Code:
.class
{
selector: value;
}

I've taken to writting CSS like
Code:
.class { selector: value; selector: value; selector: value; selector: value; }
I've found it much more manageable when it comes time to make amendments to the code. I can scan the page and look down the line for the exact class I'm after.
I've had comments on it before, mainly people thinking its a little odd. But i find it a lot easier to build, read, amend, and structure.
.meh { }

Hehe, sorry Andrew. 
As for laying out my CSS, I'm quite often very, very anal about everything being precise. It goes far beyond indentation! Everything has to be neat and tidy, well ordered and clear even at a glance. Commenting discrete groups of styles and applying a logical structure to the CSS stylesheet as a whole is important. I'll even make sure to keep the declarations in alphabetical order by property. (That means 'background' comes before 'font' which comes before 'margin')
To unr who posted font: verdana, 12px, bold;, please make sure to read up on the order of the values and indeed how to write those values for the font property.

I use the Allman's style.
It's neat and tidy.
Salathe gave a nice new tip (all selectors in alphabetical order). I wish I could give him some kind of extra reputation for that. 
And to keep my style sheet more neat, I tend to place all related selectors in one line. Example:
HTML Code:
#box h2
{
font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal;
text-decoration: underline; text-align: center;
}
