Dear Mark et al., In small molecule crystallography one always refines against ALL data up to a specified resolution, usually 0.83A or better. Failure to do this generates a category A CheckCIF alert! However one is expected to give both the R-value for all data and a R-value for I < 2sigma(I). This is actually quite useful, if the first of these is appreciably larger than the second - say 10% and 3% - then the data must be weak.
