Yes, unless we need to make the occasional exception (I don't know why
we would).

Yes.

Another reason to look forward to a CSS edition that highlights items

of work for us, but would be better in the end. Even your example
should be capitalized as a reminder that you must remove an arrow from
your action chart.
