Absolutely. I wouldn't expect every committer to undertand the gory details of posting formats, and I've been a little caught off guard by the blowback from what I thought was an inoccuous observation. But by the same token, I wouldn't expect our users to have sufficient expertise to understand all the variants of omit*() either. This stuff oughtta be implementation details. > I don't see anyone even remotely suggesting that users should have to > understand all of the implications of posting format modifications. That's what omitTFAP() and omitNorms() do, though. And as Mike pointed out in the "baby steps" thread, omitTFAP() is often misunderstood.
