Of course! That's why I wrote "(pretending it's) Improper." I did 
suspect that it'd be proper, with first corners & second corners, but I 
suppose I'm more of an American style caller...

And, about those A2 terms, for a beginner group I'd change that to:
     A2: Partner DSD; Neighbor DSD
as anything on the bias -- especially when it's likely to change when 
you transform from one to two or vice versa--is confusing for the 
uninitiated...
