That sounds right to me.

I'm less sure about that ... one thing I really hate is applications  
which open up blank document windows when I don't want them (which is  
almost always the case).
You are probably right about it though ... it does seem a very common  
behavior on OSX (though some apps open the most recently used  
document, and few don't open anything).  Is it actually automatic  
though ... if so, it might be nice to have a default to disable it.
