Default Carb location?

I have always wondered about the wisdom of locating the carb in the traditional "glow" position in front of the cylinder. Aside from the aesthetics of having the carb poked out the front of the cowl(depending on the shape of the cowl), what are the effects of the air from the prop on the air feeding the carb? Is there a "ram air" effect that would vary the mixture with airspeed?
