Default [OT] Car battery on continuous charge

What's the consensus of opinion on whether it's OK to leave a car battery
on continuous (float) charge? Wikipedia says 'batteries kept on
continuous float charge will have corrosion in the electrodes and result
in premature failure' but other sites seem to recommend the practice when
the vehicle is in infrequent use.

Richard.
