Shading from adjacent buildings for LEED

It seems to me that credit should be taken for shading from adjacent
buildings. The base case procedure takes pains to normalize the baseline
analysis to a building that is neutral to solar gain and there have been
requirements in the past (and still are?) that the building cannot
self-shade itself. Other Bldg-sim readers probably can provide a more of
official reading of the actual rules and I am interested in hearing their
rationales.
