Sorry Andrew - I thought I had replied to this but see no entry now.
A quick google would bring up lots of people saying they set their D80`s at -0.7 because of over-exposure. I tend to have that setting on mine as a rule on the same premise as Chris above but will often change further according to conditions after a quick light check shot. Get used to using the histogram capture on the back of your camera when reviewing shots and alwas make sure that you do not clip the highlights. NX2 has some great tools for saving highlight and shadow detail but generally if you blow your highlights they are very difficult to recover. Therefore using + exposure comp is unlikely to be a regular thing you do -especially in snow / sand conditions
