In fairness, they do allow the consideration of terrain/ERP factors at locations below 3000 feet AMSL (and more stringent requirements for "very high profile" locations above the 3000-foot elevation). In the broadcast radio industry, we only worry about avoiding any overlap of the 60 db protected contour with another co-channel station's 40 db interference contour. Is it time to re-think the coordination guidelines?
