Stationery Pad support on Mac OS X

More Human Interface than Human Interface Toolbox... but hopefully this will suffice.

One of our designers was asking about stationery pad support on Mac OS X. What is the current level of support for stationery expected from Mac OS X applications?

We noted that the "Get Info" panel still allows you to mark a file as a stationery pad. The save dialogs, by default, do not seem to include the "Save as statonery pad" button that was popular in days gone by.

We also noticed that most applications (ours, Text Edit, etc...) just open stationery pad files themselves rather than creating a copy and opening that. (Double clicking the file from the Finder does create a copy and open it, however).

At this point it looks like stationery pads are the province of the Finder in the case where the user double clicks the file in the Finder. Is it acceptable for our application to ignore the stationery bit?
