By the way, the Jun/2015 issue of FWW has an interesting article on
"side hung drawers". The last step performed, to achieve "perfect"
reveals, was to plane the front of the drawer. It made me wonder
whether Swingman, and others, do that when they fit inset cabinet doors.

I did not read the article but what part do they plane, the edges or the
front? If your drawer slides inside the opening squarely, into a
squarely built cabinet at it should not need to be planed at all.

I do however plane the edges of inset doors to produce the perfect reveal.

FWIW These drawers are side hung and while I did not plane at all I did
run the drawers through the drum sander to create equal spacing between
the tops and bottoms of the drawers. I built two of these chests.
