I was talking about the general case, not Solarwind's in particular.  It
seems that using flat symbols with no +- for unpolarized and curved with +-
for polarized may not be everyone's convention, but it would be unambiguous
to all, and therefore a good idea.  In other words, avoid the curved symbol
without explicity +- indication.  That's the case that seems to have
different possible interpretations.
