It's my understanding that RWD vehicles use toe-in because as non-powered wheels they tend to "drag back" towards zero toe when going forward and the various minute amounts of play in all the front end components gets taken up. FWD vehicles use a bit of toe-out because as powered wheels they would tend to toe-in under power.
