No.  If you start looking down by pulling your chin in, you'll develop 
a problem in the cervical vertebrae.  It's also a good way for making you 
tense up your shoulders and getting tendonitis.  Believe me, pinched neck
and back nerves are *no* fun.  And the likelihood of irritated ulnar and
radial nerves goes up.

When you change the FAQ Dan, make sure that you address the following points:

Wrist pads mainly proctect one from tendonitis caused by tension in the
elbows and shoulders.  They should be used with caution, since supporting
the weight of one's arms on the pad puts pressure on the carpal tunnel and
may help cause nerve damage there.
However, failure to rest one's arms *somewhere* is a sure way of contracting
tendonitis and upper back problems.  The shoulders should be kept loose
and the elbows rested on chair arms, if possible.  In all cases, the wrists
should be held in a neutral position, bending neither up nor down.
