[PUP] Full walk-around versus asymmetrical versus no walk-around

A professional captain once told me that the port side presented to the dock
was the proper etiquette. Sure enough, I looked down from my daily commute
and saw Steve Forbes' Highlander moored port side to on the Potomac in DC.
However, I also saw the Queen's yacht moored starboard to in Gibraltar (on a
PBS/BBC documentary). What is the proper protocol or does it just depend?

We also have a boarding door on the port side of the aft cockpit for those
rare occasions
when we end up in a port side tie.
