Sensors respond to light differently compared to film. Chapters one and two of Bruce Fraser's "Real World Camera Raw with Photoshop CS2" explains why there is a difference. As a result, exposure evaluation requires a different mindset and different settings. JPEG and slide film, although they are different, generally end up taking about the same exposure.
However, underexposing in RAW by 0.3-0.5 EV is exactly the wrong way to go. In general, with the *ist DS, I find my average exposure for RAW capture requires +0.3-0.7 EV additional exposure compared to JPEG or slide film.
