semicolon style

If I code JavaScript as if it were C code with respect to the use of semicolons,
are there any caveats? I understand that I will be typing a few more semicolons
than absolutely needed.

It might be more readable, and you will not be able to omit a semicolon
that is actually needed.

Which is good :) Go right ahead. I also recommend always using {..}
around blocks of if's, while's, etc., even if they only consist of
one line.

Don't put an end-of-line separating a return statement from its operand,
since this will insert an extra, absolutely unneeded, semicolon.

You can use JSLint to determine that all of the semicolons are well placed.
