An hallmark of present-day Dyson-Schwinger equation applications in hadron physics is the existence of a systematic and symmetry preserving truncation scheme. This enables the proof of exact results; e.g., the leptonic decay constant of every pseudoscalar meson except the pion vanishes in the chiral limit. Calculations using the scheme's leading-order truncation are reliable in the vector and flavour nonsinglet pseudoscalar channels. In this rainbow-ladder truncation, an impulse approximation provides the consistent current for all six-point quark Schwinger functions. That is well illustrated via the anomalous process pi0 -> gamma gamma. Using two-, three- and four-point Schwinger functions calculated in rainbow-ladder truncation, the textbook value of the width is obtained algebraically and independent of model details if, and only if, the impulse approximation is used to describe the associated matrix element.
