That works for me.
Would it be useful to gather such things into a body of examples that could,
over time, be subject to revision in light of evolving notions of good
practice? If so, how should the examples be presented, annotated, and
illustrated with concrete syntaxes? Is there a structured way to collect such
things? Maybe even a Drupal module...?

The question is worth a whole thread.

Exactly my question too. I would be surprised if there were a
"theoretical" answer; it seems like something that needs to emerge
from looking at alot of examples.
