<upd_detl>I think it's worth having - useful for text-glossing, beginners, etc. The others should 
probably be added.
For this one often the が seems to be used to soften an initial clause, e.g.
昨日おいで下さったそうですが、あいにく不在で失礼しました。 
I am sorry to learn you called at my home yesterday while I was out. (Tanaka)
There's no however there.</upd_detl>
