Atomic,
Some Other Dave hit the nail on the head. Toe Out = squirrelly Toe In = stable.
The trick is to get the smallest amount of toe in without going over.
I wouldn't argue about the nominal (target) value for your vehicle. Rubber bushings are going to have some compliance (movement), so the static setting will not be the dynamic position.
But the tolerance (the amount off the target value) needs to be as little as possible. Since toe is infinitely adjustable, there's no excuse for a car leaving the alignment shop with a toe value that isn't really, really close.
