A question of compensation - August

I thoroughly enjoyed the SLR College on metering modes, which reminded me of some of the basics. I did have a thought and a query.
The thought was that when talking about trade-offs in high contrast scenes, perhaps bracketing might have been mentioned. I know it opens up a whole new can of worms about HDR, but that would, surely, be the solution?
The query is relating to "A question of compensation". The box uses a subject which has mainly light tones. The advice is "Here you will need to dial in +1 or +2 compensation. With subjects that are dark in tone, negative compensation will be needed". Surely the oposite on both of these? If the subject is too bright, I dial in negative compensation.
