A very good point.  Since unmounts are always from the top of the stack, 
for symmetry mounts should be there too.

Here's another tidbit of information I just verified:  umount of "." 
unmounts from the top of the stack, as opposed to unmounting the stuff you 
would see if you did "ls .".  So this is all consistent.
