Here's my opinion after reviewing all the discussion.  If the tempos are going to cause so much fuss, confusion, and deformity, drop them.  Tempo markings on major movements is already redundant since movement numbers are included; on the other hand, they are relatively easy to standardize and add a level of _class_ to the whole affair.  Not to mention that most people are going to expect the movement tempos, so there's not much point in resisting. :)

However, recording sub-movement tempos seems to me not much more than a value-deprived pedantic exercise.
