I usually label my own work, and sometimes add labels to blocks installed by others, if I have time. But there is one label I ALWAYS use when appropriate, no matter what the time crunch is, or how difficult it is to label (BIX, grimey block, no light, etc.), so that the next guy doesn't have to spin his wheels with a toner:
BAD PAIR!

Agreed. It's also nice to tag if the cable is spliced somewhere.

I learned from a friend of mine years ago that an easy way to tag a bad pair was to simply punch down a short piece of wire (3" or so) across T/R at the main frame (Just enough to short the pair and wrap it around your finger). We really only worry about this on large campus environments that involve long walks or a drive in the truck.
This strategy gives us enough time (and visual indication) to go out on an start cracking open splice cases on poles or in manholes at our own pace. No automated system required!

Ummm, no it doesn't except for abandoned cables that you don't want to have to remove.
