We tried to argue our case with the last head of our region's Inspectorate, but even though we showed that one of his colleagues north of the wall allowed some of the units up there to get away with putting threshold elevation on the ATIS, he wasn't keen on the idea. Thankfully, it seems his successor took a different view.
In this day and age, with many units becoming busier, I don't see the problem with putting thres elev on the ATIS, it cuts down on another bit of r/t, but still enables us to fulfil an obligation to provide all pilots with the relevant info. Less work for us and less annoying superfluous r/t for brain fade and his mates to whinge about. I think that's called a 'win-win' situation.
