That is the difference between the American and British systems.  As I  
understand it, the British used this method, as I do, to avoid a

I was taught to place my arm on the table to avoid "glass arm" and it works.
I've transmitted continuously for hours as a military NCS that laying my arm
on the desk was the only way to avoid glass arm syndrome (that I knew
about). 

This is an interesting topic. I suspect it's several different ways to
accomplish the same thing, as there are usually several good solutions to a
problem.
