 In the $X$-labeled case, we insist that the appropriate labels match up.
 Saying we have an action of this operad means that for each labeled cell decomposition

 An action of $\CD{[0,1]}$ is compatible with an action of the cell decomposition operad 
 if given a decomposition $\pi$, and a family of diffeomorphisms $f \in \CD{[0,1]}$ which
