Your citation of AC90-66A [1] appears to
clearly indicate that the FAA prefers that IFR pilots report their
positions by transmitting their distance from uncontrolled airports

How do you resolve that conclusion with the third paragraph from the
end below:

I really don't see a conflict. Considering the *intent* of these regs, it
is obvious that clear communications are required. In an IFR-only
environment, the communication in that paragraph is clear and concise. In
a mixed environment, it is inadequate, which is why the other examples and
regs are given. This seems so obvious that it makes me wonder how this
thread has gone on for so long.
