As the original poster here, just want to say some really interesting points have been raised. Put simply however what I'm taking from this in answer to my question is that it comes down to how i personally want to run my game.

I would say, yes, provided you have discussed it with your players and they are happy with it. If your players all want to gain XP for each monster kill, disarmed trap, and persuaded noble (i.e., by encounter) and you want to do story leveling, you could end up with some very unhappy players.
So I would say, make your choice, explain your logic to them, make sure everyone is on board, and then yes you just do what you want.

WOTC lies. We know that WOTC lies. WOTC knows that we know that WOTC lies. We know that WOTC knows that we know that WOTC lies. And still they lie.
Because of the above (a paraphrase from Orwell) I no longer post to the forums -- PM me if you need help or anything.

Really interesting points made by all.
