As much as others might disagree I believe having a 3.5 alignment system with MORE guidelines as to what's considered good/evil might actually make the system function better.
Which is why I would generally only enforce strict alignments if the person in question was getting something for it (Cleric, Paladin, etc.). Even those characters would get warnings rather than being slapped down hard, without prior knowledge that they were drifting.
