Actually, that advice is more pertinent to S-PLUS than R, and doesn't 
really make any difference in lattice (except for certain situations 
where one wants to use non-default settings).

What you saw was a bug in the version of lattice that was shipped with R 
2.0.0. It has been long since fixed, and if you don't want to upgrade 
R, just running update.packages() should get you a correct version.
