Somewhere else on my blog is an article about using BEM with content management systems (which is my area of specialization). I basically endorsed your exact practice, but with __content models__.

The idea being that a content model could have multiple presentations (views), but still relies on a single core .... data model. So the Block is that data model and the modifier is the view.

So your practice is 100% what I would endorse. This is a sample of the CSS guidelines I'd produce for my teams where you'll see that I explain it a bit more: https://gist.github.com/paceaux/f31e278613ab29b74a412a7eb504...
