On type #1, Rule: don't cross over immediately when waiting out, face partner
and participate in dance using inevitable partner swing to change places .
On type #2 Don't know if this is a rule or not, but when women chain (let's
say) to couple waiting out she thinks she's still in the dance and it's the
waiting out gent's responsibility to "hold her back"... (and not get drawn back
into the dance himself)..
Is it worth mentioning that a pair of couples waiting out at the end of a 4
facing 4 can face across and dance the dance with each other? That's "sort of"
an end effect..
