I'm with Ben and don't like it, but if the rules are followed then using it for other than holding water would mean you've changed the configuration from an accepted omission to something else (like removing insulation that allowed you to omit sprinklers under a platform) thereby requiring a re-evaluation of the space. That should elicit a storm of postings from the what if crowd: "What if they don't fix it?" That's exactly the same as: "What if they drain it?" We can't work in what-ifs, because it's a badger hole. Not only is it deep and seemingly endless, but if you do get to the last what if you get mauled by the badger. No thanks. If the committee rules that omission is acceptable then I will omit per code. If it becomes storage for 100,000 yoga mats or 50 drums of methyl ethyl death then it needs changing to accommodate, not prior anticipation.
