I've left it on before as a test and eaten the ribs with the membrane. You have to sort of rip through it as you go, which is somewhat unpleasant.
You could always leave a membrane on one time and even without marking which rack of ribs was which, I guarantee you'd know which it was when you ate it.
I'm sure some people enjoy it. I mean some people eat prairie oysters, too, and I'd probably just dispense with those and stick with the steak.
