Well that's nice when the information has changed, but is not the point of telling ATC what information you have to allow them to know not to bother prompting you? In other words, if I tell them I have "Charlie" don't they write it down and tell the next guy on the handoff...if not, then what's the point of saying "with Charlie" in the first place?
Furthermore, if the information has indeed changed when we're within 10-15 miles out (ie. landing in less than 5 minutes) there really isn't time to go copying new information, especially when you punch over to the frequency (invariably) just as you've missed the winds- and the ATIS message is 45 seconds long! Tower gives the wind on landing clearance anyhow, and if they are aware of what information you have (and know you don't have the "current"- they should) then they could also quickly give any drastic changes in vis/RVR/ceiling at that point as well.
Saves a whole heap of additional "we've got its" when on initial call everyone's already reported "we've got it". Arrrrghhh!
