some great answers.  Mine was going to be BECAUSE

It seems like once something makes it into a standard, it takes an act of 
congress to get it out (and sine congress isn’t doing much I guess it’ll never 
happen).  It’s never been questioned (that I can remember) in the 18 yrs that 
I’ve been on the committee.  It’s mainly there to show it can be used in other 
than the normally acceptable manner.  We did the same with sidewall sprinklers 
under the edge of a overhead door.  That doesn’t answer the question why not 
use a dry side wall?

I’ve added it to my list of items for the 2019 cycle.  So don’t hold your 
breath for a quick answer unless you can accept ‘cause.
