The tailwind correction you advocate is proper ONLY when the tailwind is REALLY a tailwind -- the airplane is moving slower than the tailwind component! It is a proper technique for taxiing a taildragger. However, if you try that right at touchdown with a "quartering tailwind," you'll have a high probability of a big mess on your hands...

Repeat after me one more time: FLY THE AIRPLANE!
