Default Battery Master switch on Neg Leg?

I saw a post in another forum of a battery that had its master switch on the negative post. This is a link to that picture: http://www.robsdrive.com/cobra/my-co.../P3170022.html Is this acceptable practice?

I was thinking of a trunk mounted battery, with the positive going to the solenoid mounted at rear, then the normal lead going up to the starter. The negative lead would go from the battery to the master switch, from there to a ground lug on the frame. I would place a second ground strap from the engine to the frame.

Having the negative leads on the switch solves the problem of something accidently touching them.

???
