So with a hollow ground, even if you tape it slightly off-centre, as long as the spine "edges" are covered, you're fine, but with a wedge if you don't tape it the same every time you take it to a hone you'll get different angles, no? Granted, the differences will probably be small, but still.
I've bumped this one from the grave guys but I think the point Bjrn is making is worth some thought.

I'm about to embark on a wedge honing fiesta and was wondering how important taping evenly over the spine will be?

Anyone got any thoughts on this and any extra advice when honing a 'true' wedge.
