Grandad Flyer,
Sorry, I was not as precise as I should have been. When I was talking about pilots still complying with SID restrictions even when cleared above the final SID altitude I was thinking more about the cross
at or above levels rather than the stepped climb ones.
For the stepped climb ones, identnospeed has hit the nail on the head, the restriction has been removed and therefore you may climb on the vertical profile as you see fit, subject noise and terrain constraints.
That should be all the angles covered now
