Ped, I was waiting for you to show up...I almost PM'd you the link.
I agree there is no "right form". There is the text-book form that most will agree has the most advantages when carving a nice clear perfect-world corner but the world isn't perfect and there are often other things you need to deal with such as the guy who's about to stuff you, or a hill like Ped said.
Look at Spies, pretty damn good form except for the elbow thing which clearly sets him apart....it'd be kinda foolish to say there is something wrong with his form, ya know???
FWIW, it's pretty hard to get your upper body down when you've got handlebars as opposed to clipons....you end up breaking your wrist and losing throttle control as a result; form does not trump good control of the gas/brake/clutch, for example.
