Sorry to come back, but having thought about it and spoken with the military Centre of Excellence
, the bottom line is that it doesn't really matter. If the controller wants to know something, he/she will ask you. The important bit is clarity and brevity. Please, please don't give us your life story, especially at a fair rate of knots. Generally, we cannot write too quickly, some of us like using crayons, and our flight strips are mighty small things that were not designed for "War & Peace".
