FWIW, these doc don't try to make recommendations, but rather discuss
the topic. Me, I see your point. Although, based on recent discussions
on the taps list, it seems folks are willing to e.g. make
decisions/recommendations regarding e.g. how to use addresses by default.

FWIW, I brought this to taps upon suggestion I got on 6man...
