And so what you're saying is that by convention RF current flows "in" to
one end, and then "out" of the other?

Yes, that's the DC convention adopted to AC. Just be sure to put a
dot on the input side so everyone will know it's the input reference. :-)
That convention also applies to baluns and transformers.

I must admit I don't like the sound of that one bit. Sounds like you're
describing the direction a "wave" is "traveling", when we know that the
"wave" is really just "standing" there. :-)

I didn't invent the 'AC current flowing away from the source' convention
but most of the tools and concepts that I was taught assume such. It
would be extremely difficult to introduce a new and different convention.
