This is mostly about unimportant/bikeshed stuff, but still...

Actually, "should" usually means "there will be some problem if you
don't". Since the documentation does not say anything about the reason,
going only by this I considerd it sensible to assume it could be a risky
thing to do. Maybe I imagine things but I seem to remember some earlier
versions/drivers would sometimes ignore any render calls before the last
Begin/EndScene pair.
I see you are now adding "Re :" to your replies, but this is making
things only worse, please add them _in the front_ (and only if there
isn't already one), also there should not be a space between "Re" and
the ":".
Also I don't really understand why your mails are so broken, since you
are using Thunderbird, but there definitely is something seriously
wrong.
The mail I reply to has e.g.:
> References: 49288AF8.6030309 at dattrax.co.uk
Which seems to mean your previous mail, except it is wrong (in addition
to missing the message-id of my mail) because that mail actually had:
> Message-ID: <49288AF8.6030309 at dattrax.co.uk>

Please don't feel offended, but: How in the world did you end up with
such a broken mail setup? Or is Thunderbird actually that bad these
days?
