Maybe, but that does not make everything that Mills says accurate. At best
it is a compromise. Personally I think that a source is type of publication
in which the obituary is published. There is often no such thing as one
obituary, there can be any number depending on how well the person was known
- and all different.
Similarly I would not accept a notice of birth as a source but the type of
publication in which the announcement was made.
If my view is "non standard" then so be it. I am not going to change.

It's the recommended standard for articles for the National Genealogy
Society Quarterly; see their Guidelines for Writers at
http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/pubsqguide.cfm.
Also, it is "highly recommended" by the Board For Certification of
Genealogists - see
http://www.bcgcertification.org/skillbuilders/skbld959.html.
It isn't the ONLY format out there - but it is the best of the lot, and
most
folks seem to prefer it. Ms. Mills would be the first to say that getting
your source documented is more important than the specifics of how you do
it...but the approach she has taken has been widely adopted.
