Use of plain abdominal X-rays in trauma

I was surprised to read that a recent publication from the Royal College of Radiologists (Making the best use of clinical radiology services, 6th edition) has advocated the use of plain abdominal X-rays in both blunt and penetrating abdominal trauma. However, I'm not aware of anywhere that still does plain X-rays for abdo trauma. 
Does anyone know of any evidence for or against? Any views? Have I missed something?
Thanks,
Jason Smith
