Fellow Designers:

I am designing a board with differential pairing in a stripline 
configuration.  One the bottom side is a solid ground plane.  On the 
top side is a split power plane.

I was told that running traces across the splits is not a significant 
problem as there is a solid ground plane on the other side for the 
return currents to flow.

Do you agree with this assessment and what has your personal 
experience told you.

Thanks in advance for your opinions and response.
