Jun-16-04  Jesuitic Calvinist: Classic king walk by Steinitz. I would have expected Zukertort to play on.

a matter of taste, developing his knight and rooks meeting eye to eye..

Your suggestion was tried in H Neustadtl vs O Valenta, 1889, which Black soon won after 10...a6 11. c3 axb5 12. Kd3 Bf5+. But how about 10...a6 11. b4!?
