I personally limit the RoD to capture the glide by the FAP at the latest. However would it be wrong to capture at the cleared altitude.

I don't think so, but I'm prepared to be proven wrong.

Does anyone have a reference.
ICAO state that the FAP is either the charted altitude or the last altitude given by ATC prior to glide slope intercept. The FAP is the intercept of that altitude and the glide slope.
