I think we should spend time making maps and not having silly arguments that aren't going to be resolved because there are pros and cons both ways.
Rob - for your purposes - the wiki should describe simple versions of both methods (ignore left and right), credit them both with having virtues, and probably advise people not to go round deleting things if there's no immediate need. Some of this won't be resolved until there's been some tool development, and as RichardF is wont to remind us, that doesn't happen by itself.
