ALL OVER
Using the symbol instead of the text would be recommended, in my opinion. Also, this spec assumes A, B and C datums are always specific.

Exception given to “parts” probably mean that your nuts and bolts are allowed to have their own datums, not related to “major’ A, B, and C.
There should be document somewhere (paper or electronic) showing where the datums actually are.
Just a thought. If it deviates from conventional standard, it should be explained somewhere.

This type of statement is made in the standard as an option.

That said, such "standard" notes need to be used with care to ensure that the meaning is applicable to the part being defined.

ISO provides “text equivalents” of GD&T symbols, which makes sense. You cannot expect every font in the world to include GD&T symbology, so sooner or later your text document will become corrupt.
The abbreviations are as follows:
Line profile PFL
Straightness STR
Roundness RON
Surface profile PFS
Flatness FLT
Cylindricity CYL
Angularity ANG
Parallelism PAR
Perpendicularity PER
Position POS
Coaxiality CAX
Symmetry SYM
Circular run-out CRO
Total run-out TRO
I see no reason why we couldn’t start using them for consistency’s sake.

Speaking of which, things that I see everyday make me think that majority of people don’t understand symbology and have to be presented with the text…

Essentially I put a bunch of spaces in the note and then drop a separate surf profile box in the space.

The real advantage to drawing symbology is that it is language-independent. The more you can express tolerances and design intent with symbols, the less chance of some Spanish or German QA misinterpreting the meaning. If your drawing is guaranteed to go to an English language manufacturing environment, and your organization is fine with wordy notes, then fine. Otherwise, using tolerance frames and symbology is very beneficial to all parties involved, and hopefully leads to far fewer mistakes.
