Hi Ian_W,
Should stall recovery procedure include manually trimming nose down?
It will do very shortly once this procedure is adopted. (Produced in May 2011)
The crew must be able to identify the symptoms of a stall, else it would be of no use.

Generic Stall Recovery Procedure.
"2.
a) Nose down pitch control
Apply until out of stall (no longer have stall indications)
b) Nose down pitch trim
.
..As needed
Rationale:
a) The priority is reducing the angle of attack.
There have been numerous situations where flight crews did not prioritize this and instead prioritized power and maintaining altitude. This will also address autopilot induced full back trim.
b) If the control column does not provide the needed response, stabilizer trim may be necessary. However, excessive use of trim can aggravate the condition, or may result in loss of control or in high structural loads."
