It would certainly be easier for consumers/parsers if there were less  
variation in the languages, but as long as there will are variations  
in the language there are reasonable disagreements on the right  
"way". I don't think it's a productive use of this group's time to  
try and find one true way.

If this group works on issues related to best practices, it should  
remain neutral� enumerate the possibilities and discuss their pros  
and cons, then let the reader decide for themselves.

That's great, but there are many situations where is is quite  
reasonable to omit them.
