But why would any author not wish it? The only reason to list your  
full email address unobfuscated is if you enjoy receiving spam.

If you cite the reason that some users might not know how to contact  
me if I just put "ryandesign", then I say you're exactly right, *if*  
not everybody obfuscates. If everybody obfuscates, and we document  
this, then this will ease understanding. Consistency = good.
