Sparky, do you know the IAEI Joe from Boston, last name escapes me now, ends every other sentence with "eh?" and has something to do with printing of the Analysis, I believe. He addressed our inspectors recently at a meeting and when we asked him about this change, it sounded like something was rotten in Denmark. It sounds political, and I wish I had time to study the ROP's and listen in on the code panel discussions. But precedents are set with fiascos like this, and I hope it isn't the way it sounds, with manufacturers' attorneys dicating the verbage for code changes to fit their products. It wouldn't be a first. I for one will be writing a proposal with photos from my inspections to put the romex back where it belongs... before this November for the 2005. I'm guessing there will be a few hundred others doing the same on this one change.
