Yes, that's actually what I've done over the last 50 years, something my teacher in college showed me. It isn't difficult, just an extra step to go through. I've generally found that cutting and filing the bark straight seemed to free up the response and take some of the stridency out of a reed that had too much of it. Or else it ruined an otherwise imperfect but acceptable reed.
I'd never noticed the description at WW&BW - probably because I don't shop there very often and the article fernie121 cites was posted only 5 months ago. It seems to confirm my own impression.
