Sorry to tell you, but I do not agree with this suggestion for the following
reasons:
_ Although these macros are effectively defined in the /usr/lib/rpm/macros
file, they are mainly intended to ease porting specs from the old Mandrake
distribution. The 2 years-old page you reference to is annotated "This page
could probably be deleted... Doesn't seem to be much useful information" and
the referring page
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:RPMMacros#Reference) lists it only as
a conversion aid from Mandrake spaces (altough not forbidding use of this
macros, I conceed to you).
_ I did not find usage references to these macros in the packaging guidelines, 
neither as a requirement nor even as a recommandation.
_ The use of these macros is not very frequent in current Fedora spec files.
_ Finally, I do not like them: they lower the spec file readability and they
introduce a dependency to their definitions while it is unlikely that their
defined value changes sometime.
