Yes.  As is apparent in this and any other NaN init discussion 
that I've been part of, there are pros and cons that people weigh 
differently.  The weight I place on being able to more readily 
isolate potentially difficult FP bugs is higher than the weight I 
place on the auto-zero benefits combined.

I can and have worked without NaN init.  The world didn't end nor 
did I call for a NaN init crusade, but I prefer NaN init to zero 
init and either to undefined init.
