>From what I observed in Argentina, many of the leaders who are in the outer circle know the songs so well that they can plan things to end their tanda at precisely the same place where they started. Hence very little escorting is required. The woman's seat is right there where they started, which of course assumes that they have walked up to the woman's seat to start the tanda - a requirement of the cabaceo.

I think walking the follower to the edge of the floor (not necessarily all the way back to their seat) is a minimum courtesy and I have not had any bad feedback on it in Australia.
