As far as I can recall, there is no policy regarding the use of "et al" versus "etc" (there was a discussion about whether to allow it at all in citations, but that isn't quite the same thing as we're discussing here). I don't see a need for one since they apparently can be used interchangeably, but if there is enough strong feeling out there to make this a policy, then have at it. I'll keep this thread open for enough time for anyone interested to speak their piece.
