Good motivation, and a good clarification (snipped) 
about non-overlapping "roles". I'll just say "me too"
:-)

I would also add that a behaviour provides/documents a
standard way of, or API for, doing some task or
providing certain functionality. That is, it doesn't
just document the whys and hows of how THIS module
does something.

Best,
Thomas
