You've pretty much hit the nail on the hear.  I was just reading about this
technique in _Breeding_Super_Bees_ by Steve Taber.  It's also recommended as
a reliable method to separate semen from mucous.  Book's at home, I'm in the
office.

I've found _Breeding_Super_Bees_ to be a bit of a tease.  There's a lot of
claims that you can do this and that, but not a lot of specific "how tos"
explaining how you can do this and that.  However, all the claims are fully
referenced.  If the details are skimpy on washed semen techniques, there
will be plenty of references for more details.
