I, a user of a non-auto-offseting VHF radio THANK YOU for that 
decision!  If I receive your frequency objects in my APRS client, I will 
know, beyond shadow of a doubt, exactly how to manually tune my radio to 
access your repeater - again reaching the widest possible audience with 
the included information.

By extrapolation, I'm also a proponent of putting Toff instead of 
assuming that the absence of this specification means that there is no 
tone.  If there isn't a tone, tell the user!
