Wow! I have always had it in my mind that IPC:
 - never took a stand on NFPs one way or the other, but
 - never recommended removing them, even though many do.

Now you point me to the new draft which contains a whole new section!
(IPC-2222A 9.1.4) 
with more than an entire page on the subject!!!
and even a Table!
wow... 
How did I miss that?

We probably could have avoided this entire thread if I had known your army of 
experts had already worked this out... (grin)

thanks,
Jack
