A WAAS approach looks and flys like an ILS, and would be accepted by every IFR operator if it were connected to a usable route structure.

We rely on piecemeal "solutions" to night CFIT problems offshore because we have no other choice, there is no FAA effort to make a route structure - its just too hard to conceive.
