Lou,
I remember looking into this once and noted that on the "New Yankee Workshop" site Norm answers this question by saying that he sets his fence exactly parallel to the blade. But it seems to me as well that there is no obvious down side, if you never move your fence to the left of the blade as Dave points out, to toeing out .005".
