Post CAT II, without CAT I reversion question?

A question for CAT II operators. Having just returned from simulator I must admit to having a little difficulty with the following practise.

Situation: Following appropriate RVR check, ie. 300/300/100, the statement is made at 4nm that the approach will be "CAT II with NO reversion"

I am told, and indeed it is written into our manual that following a CAT II failure above 500(R) for example due Loc deviation or Autopilot failure, the approach may be continued to CAT I minima.

In the past, I had been instructed that a CAT II failure where there was no reversion to CAT I due RVR's meant a GA was flown, hence the 4nm statement "CAT II, NO reverion"

Would welcome comments from other CAT II operators.
