A question for the inspectors here:
What is your comfort level in allowing a practice that is illegal in your current adpoted code that you know perfectly well will be legal in the next code cycle?
For example, the 96 to the 99 version of dedicated electrical space. Remember how the dedicated space was 25 feet!!! So, you are inspecting under the 96 code, and your state will be adopting the 99 in say, 1 year. There are ducts and things 15 feet above a panel, and leak protection has been provided. You know that in one year this is not going to be a violation...but it is today. What do you do? Do you require the duct to be moved?
BTW: This is just a theoretical question...it has nothing to do with anything specific.
