I also wish to clarify that I understand that my argument doesn't preclude the possibility that this is a case where you may argue that we should deviate from Wikipedia in spite of respecting it as a standard. I know that that's probably what you were getting at instead of the points that some previous users have made where they displayed a complete disregard of wiki principles. So I don't wish to come across as dismissive of your point because I know you aren't like that latter group of people. :P

"Cairo", "Cairo, United States of America" and "Cairo (individual)" together would make my teeth itch. ;)

I think from your perspective that is a valid point. While I personally would not mind that, it's understandable how some people would think this seems like disambiguation formatting is all over the place.
