I agree. I intend to do just that. But the initial question was about 
inspection. If your inspector is of the standard type, he/she will like 
"approved" methods.

Hi All!
  I'm of the opinion that a washer under the head is best for spreading
the forces out more evenly.  Also when the bolt is turned on
installation the proper way is to only turn the nut.  While I know that
this does not always happen.  Having a washer under the head will tend
to reduce scratches and stress risers.
  Just my opinion

PS I also use the nylon nuts and add "run on" TQ to the standard torque
called out for the bolt/nut size
