The inputs and output are not decoupled from each other are they? don't they have direct connection with each other via the plates.
Not accordoing to the white paper.
However it is a good idea to get the power running right the caps, but i think this has been done for AGES it's just that most people connect the two terminals together on the OUTSDIE of the cap too (and maybe deleteing any advantage).
If you connect the inputs to the outputs, you just end up with a normal capacitor. If it is a normal capacitor you want, it is much cheaper to buy one those.
But if the foils are thin (which they are) would you want ALL the current flowing though it on a big power supply?
Well, the ones I was looking at were the axial type especially the 8200 uF 63 volt version, which has a rated pure AC load of 9,9 A @ 100 Hz, which is more than enough for a 25 watt SOZ, which demands about a third of that.
