To be honest Pete, I have no idea, but it's not unusual for me. Even when I worked for private sector design firms or done freelance work on the side, I've always done my own seps. It's not something that was taught to me and I don't know if my method is conventional or not, but I've never had any issues with any files I've sent to any number of printers nationwide. I'd love to know how others prep their files for press and get a window into the process. Really, I started out designing graphics for TV and electronic media, so when I started getting print work I had to feel my way. It's entirely possible that I've picked up bad habits, but I'd never know. As I said, I've never had an issue and I've been doing print for over a decade now.
