I think, as with Doctor Who, when canon is pretty extensive, there are more arguments about what you can reasonably extrapolate from canon. And more arguments about what canon really is. There's also a lot more canon, and if certain writers are very prolific and become very big in their ransoms, they have more of a say in determining the metes and bounds of canon. This bothers me. :(
My one rule of thumb? Subtext is never the same as canon. Ever. ;)
