perhaps we are getting into terminology here.. I'm sticking to the
original paper by T. Bhat.
Difference map is F1-F2, F1=w1*Fobs, F2=w2*Fmodel. I believe you can
prefix it with "omit" if you omit something (remove part of model) from F2.

This is where it gets into nuances not discussed in the original paper,
if memory serves.

Yes, this seems to be the common mindset. But I'm yet to see a
convincing example with clear illustration of such bias. I believe this
1) remove ligand;
2) do some refinement (optionally, don't believe really necessary!);
3) compute mFo-DFc map;
should be good enough in most cases.
