Yes HP, I was simply acknowledging that some posters on here may regard crosswind landings as one of their less-demanding tasks.

As captainsmiffy and DCThumb have said, the wing-down technique lends itself so well on most high-wing transports (of which there remain a wide variety. in civil and military service). It was great on the Herald. The only question is: at what height do you best transition into the sideslip? I would suggest that it needs to be done early enough to get the feel of it, but not so early that your downwind leg starts to tremble with the effort as you come over the threshold...
