I think that's how my LHS did it. I see what you mean about it beginning to look like a banana. It didn't do that. Sometimes when I start on my toes I think I use that part of the blade. I don't have video of it to be sure, but it just bothers me when it's not sharpened that way. Essentially it doesn't really make a difference? Well most of us have seen the bauer video and the one by Maximum Edge and there is no way in the world you can skate on the last half inch of blade either on the toe or heel, so the only time it really needs to be done is on the last couple of passes. That maintains the profile that you had put on the skate or what you may have had from the factory.
