I am a bit confused by what you say below regarding whim and

controversy is not about what the code says or how AHJs interpret it, the

I've followed these threads with great interest about code, changes and
interpretations.
There are 2 connected parts, code and interpretation.
While its hard to do much about interpretation, the code part should be more

definition of special permission.
Any changes have to go back to the NFPA? Really the buck stops at the
quasi-judicial authority of the head of the building department.
Inspectors are the bearers of that

Friends:
It is my understanding that local AHJs can implement more stringent code
requirements and can interpret ambiguous citations, but they can not waive
specific code requirements without special permission. (NEC 90.4). I don't
know what is required to obtain special permission, but I do
