A IC vendor, when questioned about a particular BGA part we are using
made the following statement:

"This BGA is almost RoHS compliant today. It uses 90/10 Pb/Sn spheres
and bumps
which meet RoHS exemption requirements. However, to be fully RoHS
compliant, we must switch from high-Pb to no-Pb capacitor attach. This
<>may happen in ~2006. There are no plans to further modify the this BGA
package."

Question #1 - Is there an exemption to the RoHS rules with reguards to
high temp lead
 solders?
