Correct (Boeing)technique :

Keep FAS : Vref + X ( for winds <= 10 knots : 5kts) until crossing the threshold, thereafter bleed off the speed during the flare.
For gusty winds the correction "X" to Vref would be 1/2 the steady wind + the gust with a maximum of 20 kts.

Why not VRef crossing the threshold ? to have some margin above the stallspeed.
