Thanks for that. I have been flying about hoping that this was just a piece of old phraseology that would eventually die out, especially as MATS Pt1 says that one method of identification is "Observing an IDENT feature when it has been requested".
Since it is in your Part 2 I guess I will have to live with it, but if I had a penny for every time someone retyped their already allocated code (or a mixed up version of it) I would be on a Captain's salary!
