That is right, and I think I might use that from now on. If I wanted the guitarist to play a G11 w/o a 3rd, I would write it as such G11(no3rd). I wouldn't leave that to be assumed, and truthfully when I give out a chord chart. I actually write the chords how I want them to be played. The catch is sometimes I leave out the third in chords, or want that. One I like to do that on is 9th chords, take this G9(no3rd) played as (xxx065), then go to Dmaj (xx0232) after. I think that sounds nice. I know where your coming from though.

Yes 3rd's within sus4 does have a nice airy sound. If I do that I usually don't hold the sus4 for very long. But if you really want to air that chord out, lose the 5th. Csus4 as (x32x11).
