Absolutely.
We've added our understanding of desired behavior on a couple items, and it 
really helped clarify the issue for me.  I wanted to see if you thought that 
(honestly, try to convince you that) the info was worth the bit of clutter.

Using the tracker, it doesn't need to be the bug reporter himself who describes 
the good behavior, but anybody who cares and understands how music should be 
engraved.  I admit that for some issues, like 36, describing desired behavior 
can be difficult, if you think things through; those issues will be difficult 
to solve, and it's nice to have some transparency of why they are not getting 
solved.
