Very good article Nick : this is a great sum-up of the transfer process!
If I can suggest an add : it's important to assume that the existing DNS records could be overwritten by the default ones from the new registrar. All records does not follow the transfer automatically : I saw it a lot of time.
That's why I always advice people before launching the transfer : copy paste the existing DNS records configuration somewhere (if you have only a few entries) for backup purpose (before add them to the new registrar) or simply download the DNS zone file on the old registrar, keep this backup, and use this file to recreate DNS records on the new one.
In both cases : you can skip SOA and NS records of course as you are precisely moving to a new registrar.
That way you are sure to not lose anything :)
