Hello!

I'm just wondering, if I'm totally wrong or the lisp identation in Emacs
by default doesn't meet very well to requirements of CL style and all the
co-lispers use clisp-indent.el (or maybe something like) to fix this? 

Thanks in advance,
Aleksandr

From my init file:

(defun rdm-lisp-mode-hook ()
  (setq lisp-indent-function 'common-lisp-indent-function)
  (local-set-key (kbd "[") 'insert-parentheses)
  (slime-mode t))
(add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook 'rdm-lisp-mode-hook)

But without (load-library "clisp-indent") standard
common-lisp-indent-function still indents some forms improperly. For
example it indents 

(function plus (lambda (x y)
                 (+ x y)))

as 

(function plus (lambda (x y)
  (+ x y)))

, and 
(cond
  ((cond1)
    (form1)
    (form2)
    (form3)))

as

(cond
  ((cond1)
   (form1)
   (form2)
   (form3)))

(setq lisp-indent-function 'common-lisp-indent-function)
