			I'm joining the debate a little late here, but I used to agree with tomegun.  No need for whistles on subs most of the time. 
  
Then I moved and came to an area where those working the table generally aren't as consistent and qualified as where I was.  Now I whistle for subs.  It prevents a lot of problems.  I haven't found that it devalues my whistle.  It does prevent my over-anxious partners from getting the ball in play before subbing is complete. 
  
I happen to believe this is a lot of "hand-wringing" and not because I'm out of arguements.  Just do what's appropriate for your area.  Whistling is definitely appropriate here.
