Indeed, all of the above is correct, and I won't contradict.

Just for the record, I want to add that this is something that we have 
agreed on, just because it makes it easier for beginners (and others) to 
read the words. This is one of the situations of TKD that leaves 
different interpretations and has lead to long discussions in the past: 
some say that TKD only explains compound nouns, others see it as a 
guideline how to "make" compound words. The three lines in TKD are 
really not much, and after all, it really doesn't matter, so Okrand is 
right that we shouldn't bother too much about that.
