All good points and noted.
I am now of the opinion that when the spline play appears to be reduced =
by tightening the knock on it is really just clamping it against the =
rear cone. This surely must be a good thing eliminating the play and =
providing some resistance before the splines come into play. So, =
notwithstanding what Dave said about grease I will keep the rear cones =
dry. There should be no movement so need for any lubrication. The =
splines only should be greased to to prevent sticking. See link to MWS =
site on this topic.
Also to assist tightening the knock nut, on will grease the outside cone =
lightly.=20

I firmly believe that only the splines do the transmission of =
acceleration and braking torque. The knock-off clamps the wheel in place =
and the two cones within the wheel hub/splines centralises the wheel. I =
once had a knock-off come off and the wheel still turned with the hub =
and slowed under braking.
Splines require the minimum of clearance to eliminate the fretting =
caused when the wheel rocks back and forward on the hub. You can =
purchase an anti-fretting grease.
I agree that it is almost impossible to eliminate clearance within the =
the spline to spline fit otherwise we would not be able to remove them =
easily.
A loose knock-off allows the wheel to become off centre and then with =
each rotation the wheel will 'walk' or rotate on a different centre to =
the hub/axle centre. The splines with their clearance will not keep the =
wheel centralised due to the built in clearance. This will create =
excessive wear on both sets of splines.
I also agree that the Left and Right hand thread system is to =
counter-act wheels coming loose but I find it hard to accept that this =
system will tighten an already loose knock-off. It is also important to =
tighten wheels with NO weight on them that is with the wheel raised off =
the ground. This allows the wheel to easily centralise on the =
cones/tapers before final hammer tightening. Remember if you do not have =
a flat spot on the top of the splines you have worn or badly made =
splines. Also it is unwise to expect a long life from the splines when =
new are fitted to old (worn)
The manufacturing process of the axle hub =E2=80=93 machined, and the =
softer wheel centre hub splines maybe made with a broaching process =
raises the question of which component will be manufactured more =
accurately. Their fit and clearance is critical to their life. Material =
hardness is also important and lubrication adds value.
Over the years I have seen some radical home-made fixes for worn splines =
down to no splines.

All of the cone surfaces should be lubricated, as well as the splines, =
otherwise you will pretty quickly see fretting of the surfaces.  This =
involves transfer of metal from one surface to the other when two =
surfaces are highly loaded (such as by the clamping force of the =
knockoff) and move relative to each other.  You will always have some =
small degree of movement.  Fretting reduces the fatigue resistance of =
the metal.
