This is also the standard way in the USA. Its called a switch leg.

I've only seen that in older buildings in the US.

In new buildings (~1970+) I've always seen what I consider the standard: live hot and neutral to the switch. Hot is switched to the fixture, and neutrals from both sides are tied together in the box.
