Default Question about Stat Block Style Guide

In this document

http://www.sjgames.com/general/guide...cter-Stats.doc

The human example is Attacks and Damage: followed by Armor: while the monster has these in reverse order.

Are there some situations where we should use Talents include: or Weapons include:?

Also when should a stat block include the "Hex Size/Form:" line from Adventures? Would this apply to tiny figures such as rats or large 1-hex figures like gargoyles?

And what if the creature has multiple movement types with different values? Are those still listed on the same line or should the ability to fly, for example, be listed separately under Special Abilities.

Are human punches weapons or attacks and damage, especially when the figure has Brawling, Unarmed Combat, or Acid Touch?

I agree that this should be added to the official stat block. Too often the actual size and orientation of presented creatures is omitted or left vague.
