guslThe first section of my paper is not titled "Introduction", because I want the title to be informative. I cannot think of any other papers violating this regularity.
Likewise, the titles of my sections and subsections tend to be long. Seems like a good alternative to having a "table of contents, in paragraph format and without page numbers (yechh)".

I'm also very fond of footnotes, it seems. There's normally a trade-off between accuracy/completeness vs. conciseness/clarity. Footnotes let me have both (by apologizing for the inaccuracy/incompleteness in the main text).
