For what it's worth, I routinely use all white whole wheat flour in cookie and bar recipes that call for AP, and I've never had a poor experience. I suspect that Irene's guidelines are geared toward folk who might not appreciate the flavor and texture of whole wheat. I do enjoy those flavors and textures -- more than white flour -- and if you're like me, you should be able to use all white whole wheat with no other modifications.
