(*) According to the LFSR article and my knowledge, the standard is to make the least significant bit (rightmost bit) the degree of the polynomial and the most significant bit (leftmost bit) the x when determining the tap polynomial. Additionally, all tap polynomials end in 1 by convention because we want to make primitive tap polynomials over GF(2) the ones that precisely generate all possible nonzero key values in a standard LFSR.
