One person's opinion - every cable connection needs two connectors,  
one of each sex. Why make yours different from all the others? It  
will mean you can never replace it in the field, and must build and  
carry your own unique spares.

Audio comes out the pins, goes in the holes. Thus it ever was. Both  
ends have equal waterproofness, or lack thereof, no?
