I was taught not to pass notes in school.

I dislike chord tabs which leave out elements that I consider integral to the music, making pieces sound instead like flat I-IV-V7 songs. On the other hand, lots of folks don't understand the more complex chord spellings, even if they in practice use these chords, modified from basic chord tabs. A nice solution often used in lead sheets is simply to parenthesize the more advanced notations as alternative or optional chords. Then at least the folks who only know the basic chord spellings know that something more interesting happens there.
