My 2 cents: if you choose to design and submit per the PE's criteria, insert a prominent note on your drawing indicating the design is per such-and-such drawing stamped by so-and-so PE. Be as specific as possible (sheet #'s, PE's name, state of license, etc). Complete the note by stating the design doesn't meet NFPA 13 requirements. It's not fool-proof, it's not bullet-proof, but the more CYA, the better.
