Sorry, reccapt, the NFPA disagrees with you. As they say in their "Analysis of changes,"
"The new exception and associated figures apply to the area between a kitchen sink or a range and the wall behind them."
Likewise, I fail to se how a 'free standing' range would be any different
The IAEI comment on the change to 210.52(C) has nothing to do with the the wall space where there is no counter. The code section and comment only apply to counter top areas.
