Steve,
I think the language in the 2010 edition of NFPA-13 addresses your concerns:
12.1.1.2 Early suppression fast-response (ESFR) sprinklers
shall not be used in buildings with automatic heat or smoke
vents unless the vents use a high-temperature rated, standard response
operating mechanism
Hope that's in reference to your situation.

So the lack of any such wording (sprinkler may/may not be used in bldgs
with vents) in the mfg's installation instructions mean it's
permissible?

Everything must be installed in accordance with manufacturers
instructions, they are listed to be used in compliance with mfr
instructions

ESFR sprinklers. If they are installed in warehouses with vents, does
that void their listing? It is my understanding that they were
tested/listed without vents present.
PS- I am aware of the footnote for Table 2306.2 of the IFC. :-)
