We're pretty much one of the 'orphans' of the soldering specs.
MIL-STD-2000A specifically states that it doesn't apply to inductive
devices.  Most of the other specs pretty much ignore transformers,
inductors, and similar stuff.  We have to solder internal connections that
may, or may not, reflow during wave soldering.  Our leads have to meet
'solderability.'  

Yet, our Customers (We always capitalize that word.) want us to solder to
IPC requirements.  How?  
        Do we just 'cherry pick' what seems applicable?
        Should there be a separate section in the spec for inductive devices?
        Should there be a separate spec for inductive devices?

How do manufacturers of other components not mentioned in the soldering
specs solve this problem.

We'd love to have a bit of feedback on the subject.
