I have used the "virutal-short" method discussed many times on this list for most of the occasions where I am shorting two different nets; however, occasionally I like to place a trace that will give me the DRC error just so it is very apparant what is going on. (For me, it is not my goal on every project to have no DRC errors as much as it is to make sure any DRC errors are understood and intendeded.) I also create a document that I maintain with the files that provides any notes regarding that particular design. This text file is pretty much "boilerplate" information about the design, who it was for, what versions of tools were used to create the design, and I also include any special information that pertains to what I have done whether it is the addition of virtual shorts, traces or clearances to ignore on DRC or what combinations of layers to use for generation of the output data.
