True, though when looking how we handle invalid parameters in most other
code, the check is upfront where possible and return is as quickly as
possible.  In this case it looks a lot cleaner and more understandable
to put in the extra block rather than to work it into the logic.  It
looks like more elses and I would have to handle the
WDML_AllocTransaction as it is not be needed if pData was NULL.  It
seems to complicate the logic and I don't see the benefit.

True, I generally use 4 for the tabstop but I can fix that.
