Earl, You're almost certainly correct on the outbound side. It's the business process and ERP system timing that controls what goes in an envelope, simply by when the data is created and passed to the translator for the supplier.
Inbound, I'll stand by my thoughts, the translator should come first, then the routing of the data. Otherwise, if the gateway comes first, it's passing EDI to many different translators and that doesn't often happen. Mostly, that occurs when businesses merge and they keep separate systems. When they do that, they also usually keep different ID's. Maintaining multiple EDI systems for long periods of time is counter to the purpose of merging. Travis, have you ever asked them why?

I think it reflects the different procedures that are required to generate the documents. The 850s would be created by an Inventory Planning program that calculates replenishment levels. The 820s would be created by something in Accounts Payable. Sears Canada sends 850 information and 864 information for the same set of POs. They are sent in 2 interchanges, and have to be matched up in order to print their custom labels. I just deal with what they want.
