The rules for the NATS are more rigid because it is a procedural (non-radar) enviroment. Separation is based on the aircrafts ability to fly the specified track at the specified height and speed. If the aircraft is unable to do this then it would be automatically excluded. I doubt if the system can cope with exceptions other than when prior notification is recieved at the track planning stage.
