In most cases I've seen `backtab' is the "correct" binding because it's the one that makes logical sense: the command is about doing something in the opposite direction from what the `tab' key does. The reason why S-tab is (also) used is that `backtab' is rarely available, and as a convention we use S-tab as a poor man's backtab.
Works for me. I wrote a short proposal to Emacs Dev to stretch the idea to a bigger audience than the bug report, which Adrian closed.
