Hi Mr M,
I'm sure that if you modify your boot-binding interface, whether by wedges or any other means, you are on your own. The boot/binding manufacturers are not to be blamed if the gear doesn't behave to spec's anymore.
On the other hand, in order to do a 1degree tilt, you need only about 1mm difference in height (if I've done my maths correctly) and I suppose this isn't really such a big deal. For instance, looking at people at the slopes, not very many care to remove the snow from underneath their boots when they resume skiing after lunch etc, and the amount of snow that's stuck under is oftentimes much "higher" than the small increments/decrements resulting from wedging/shaving. But again, like anything else in life, I guess sound judgement and responsibility for one's own actions is what's needed.
cheers,
Tommy
