Knowing the pitfalls makes it easier to justify why an output that is unambiguous was chosen as the new default over the previous ambiguous output; any further changes to the default are now a matter of fine-tuning about how much (or how little) decoration we can get away with, while still avoiding a regression to the situation of ambiguous output.
