Any app can follow or ignore conventions, it's our own decision. 
If it brings a big advantage, then it can be ok to ignore them. We want to 
create a gooda pplication after all. Since you don't know what the magic 
modifier is, you can not do this weighting of advantages vs. disadvantages.

For me it's rather easy, something like 100 vs 0.01 ;-)

ps. How can something be a DE convention that is disabled altogether in the 
DE's default style?
