Although, I personally would seperate them as I have had occasions
where I have done something that is within the regs but extremely
uncommon and then spent more time and effort trying to convince people
that it's correct than it would've taken me to do it the common method
in the first place.

I'd agree. What's the point in complicating matters by using non-standard
methods that can only confuse those who come after you?
