That is exactly what I am saying. I suppose it comes down to: if it hurts to do that, then don't do that. The rules will be documented. As with most things, you get to decide what that implies to your usage. Regarding stripping of trailing blanks: >Imagine RECFM=VB. Of course in many RECFM=VB cases there are no trailing blanks, the record length having been set to reflect the result of stripping off trailing blanks.
