It's hard to address this issue in roleplaying terms. Even if you are the meanest jerk in the Empire should you continue to bash your opponent into the ground? Well, whether servant or imperial emperor I wouldn't. Though I'm not clear on if I would get anathema for showing mercy to an unconcious(ooc) opponent, I don't think that I should.
If someone is clearly perceptibly losing link legitmately (periodically getting: 'He seems to be inanimate try again later' during a tell conversation) and we for one reason or other end up fighting, I won't complete the kill if he isn't there to defend himself.
My opinion isn't etched in stone however, if someone can offer a reason as to why I _shouldn't_ do this, I'm open to suggestion
