Extremely? Not at all. It's only as as important as the people willing to work on it make it. > If the absence of a value= attribute is a problem for you, attach > one.

The presence of an empty value= label still serves a purpose - it stores the position information so that the designer doesn't have to manually move N copies of value= for every resistor. > They won't if the attitude of "I don't care to know about any flow > except pcb, and all I want is my version of the pcb flow" isn't > vigorously opposed.
