<reef lines tied around the boom> I've never done that and consider it more a "make it look pretty" thing. You're only talking about a few feet of sail controlled by the original outhaul and the new outhaul at the reef point. It's pretty well sandwiched in there. Same for the second reef although that does get a bit sloppy.
What Dwight describes is pretty much textbook for a double line reefing system.
