There is a use for both

[t b b]
  |   |
[realtime]

and

[t b b]
   \ /
    X
   / \
[realtime]

and I don't think that the straight line pattern is any cleaner than the 
crossed line pattern. I use both all of the time. Many object classes have 
both a use with straight lines and a use with crossed lines. Crossed lines 
themselves are not bad. It's not like it's any hard to follow the flow 
along a small cross.
