Presumably this hint constitutes abandoning the Application based firewall in favor of the Tiger like way of doing it?

It's up to you. Use the Application Firewall or IPFW or both, or none....

I'm working professionally with Enterprise level firewalls from different vendors for more than 7 years now and I may be a little bit anal about it.... :)

Also initially there was very little information available about how the Application Firewall works and in cases like that I stick to what I know is working.
