yes :) actions should allow for cancellation and/or refinement of positioning, 
which is often achieved with the mouse-up-must-be-in-the-same-hit-zone-as-the-
mouse-down approach. so things like pasting should happen on mouse up, since 
paste is the action. 

menus, however, are not actions themselves but present actions. so they  
appear on mouse press to allow actions to be accomplished in one mouse 
press/release with press->move to action->release
