I agree.  Gould isn't specific enough, and we need to make up our own  
rules, and i'd go with the visual look in a way that you suggest.

@Phil (comment #69): i think that adding dots above may be preferred  
because the default direction of a dot is upward, see { g'4. d''4. }

By the way, i'm having an impression that our test suites don't cover all  
cases...  Notice that, for example, cluster of 5 notes has *4* possible  
configurations relative to stafflines and the side on which most heads  
dwell:

\transpose c c' {
  <c d e f g>4. r8
  <d e f g a>4. r8
  <g a b c' d'>4. r8
  <a b c' d' e'>4. r8
}
