I am sorry if it isn't clear, but my "beef" and comment above is aimed at Microsoft. I think the alleged existence of the "Microsoft recommendation" that James describes above is beyond ridiculous. I haven't been able to find it, though.
I don't have any personal stake in the decisions that actually apply to OR in this matter, but I agree that whatever is decided should be consistent. There definitely should be an "OR-way" of doing things. And it shouldn't be up to Microsoft to micromanage things that aren't widespread problems.
