Is your apparent addiction to paper a side effect of working for a local authority bureaucracy Curator Kid? Good practice does not in my opinion dictate endless repetition and duplication in the case of negative trenches - as anyone who has ever undertaken a large and largely negative evaluation would realise. This comment just marks you out as yet another curator totally out of touch with the practicalities of conducting archaeological fieldwork.
As for Single Context recording, well it's 'horses for courses'. Although it is great in complex, deeply stratified 'urban' situations, it is unecessary and cumbersome on extensive 'rural' sites.
