It sometimes happen, that exposure is not perfect in P-TTL mode. One thing
that I noticed, is that it doesn't like too much white in photos -
underexposure is then almost guaranteed - I use (+) compensation then. And
of course, latitude of digital is more similar to slide film rather than
forgiving negative. That's a reason for not so perfect exposure with flash
all the time. If you make you feel better, my friend made many photos during
christmass 2003 with his EOS 10D and 550 EX flash and had similar to my
results - some photos happened even to be more badly underexposed.
After all, it is usually quite easy to correct highlights via levels in
graphics software.

No, I don't get flash confirmation when in P-TTL too, but it is here in TTL
mode.
