Totally agree , also with FlightDetent, "viewpoint" this pressure to expedite shortcutting rules is not what normal ATC should be. Even with adding an "expedite" to the clearance , which would work in normal vis conditions, the mere fact of allowing a line up would penetrate the ILS proection zone for an arriving CAT III.
