It resolves the issue of having to come up with a set of standards. :)

As for C-c C-c, I personally don't like it when it is bound to a
comment command, but that is up the the mode author.  As for
hide-show, it should not be using C-c C-c anyway (based on the above
suggestions in the manual.)

If hide-show wants small key-bindings (C-c @ C-o of outline mode which
follows the standard can be long winded for a quick command) perhaps
it needs a different mechanism or standard.  I don't have a good
recommendation for that.
