Only in that I have seen a number of diggers of boxes concentrate most of their attention on the box and only look at the exposed archaeology, the profile and the stratigraphy once the box is complete. My extrapolation of the 'English' method is that we dig the features in their natural form respecting, fills, edges and interfaces and if we need to end up with a box section, we end up with a box section. If we don't we don't.
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
