For the record, I am of the school that it is not but flew with someone who swore by it and looked at me as if I were crazy for not subscribing to it. Not that I am an expert, but this is something I've never seen taught and I'm sure there are aerodynamic consequences that make it unadvisable. However, I havn't yet put much thought into it so I thought I'd lob it out there.
