No, it doesn't.  Just think of who is going to do the surgery :-)

Regarding the cosmetics, I think we should always think of the user:
It is a matter of fact that triplets are either marked with a single
digit, or with a ratio like `4:3'.  I think it is not too far
stretched to expect that lilypond should follow such conventions even
in the input.
