I think you simplify too much. The check_markup solution will only
display content in the $node->body and it doesn't allow other modules
on the site to do the normal overriding that they might do (many
modules work that way) so I consider the check_markup solution only a
solution for very specific sites. Further, it doesn't render any cck,
location, or other fields that might normally appear in a "node's
content."

If someone is building a general module they should use node_view (or
copy the code from node_view and alter appropriately).
