So- I notice that having the LOC centered put's you a little down-wind, and thus it's a good idea to include this fact when making sure I'm on the C/L and I'm a dip!!!!?

I know where the loc antenna is because I've watched endless students in the sim de-crab only to find themselves downwind. Digging a little deeper I found it was because they where using the LOC to line themselves up, as they often didn't know how much the length of the aircraft displaces their picture from the centerline.

Terribly sorry to offend your sensibilities, north flyer, by trying to help my students.
