I don't have a problem complying with the '05 and keeping USE outside the building but there is the situation where the conductors are not under my jurisdiction such as the case where the utility company terminates the lateral in the switchgear or metering inside the building. When this happens they are regulated by the NESC and I'm not sure if there is a restriction under the NESC.
If you take a look at the errata sheet for the 2002 NEC, you will see that paragraph that permits USE to 6 feet inside a building is an errata (mistake). It has never been permitted indoors.
If this is being used to supply a panel inside of a building, that is definitely a violation.
