See http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu/si-list4/0391.html page 9 of http://www.ansoft.com/thewave/Shielding_and_Decoupling.pdf http://factaee.elfak.ni.ac.yu/fu2k12/fu04.html and others (search on "20H rule.") RF between two equally sized planes does radiate from the slot formed at the edge - but RF on a small plane over a larger one also radiates from the slot around the smaller. We don't want to put patch antennas on a board while trying to avoid other problems. Thus the controversy.
