You have to ask, unfortunately.  When you send a new project in to a
house, ask to talk to the people on the line, about what would make
the design better.  Don't let the sales department give the "no
problem"  answer based on "the customer is always right" idea.  Talk
to the people doing the work.

If you are making only a few boards the unspoken problems don't really
mater that much, but if you are making any kind of quantity of boards
it could mater a lot in the bottom line pricing you'd get from the
assembly house.
