John, Bill,
I agree that when you apply the style manual rules to 210-8, that a dedicated outlet would be permitted by the wording in a bathroom.
I do not believe that is the intent of the code as I can find no proposal to extend the exception that at one time only applied to garages to the bathroom. In the 96 draft in the 95 ROP the 2 exceptions clearly only applied to garages. There are no comments in the 95 ROC that made this change. How did the wording of the exception get changed. Changes in the style manual should not be permitted to effect changes in the technical rules.
