I realise this is a liitle off the current discussion in this thread, but there seems to be some here who will have the answer...
I am wondering about the logging of I.F. time, while operating N.V.F.R.
For example:
you depart in VMC, before first light;
there's no horizon to speak of, ie you are handling the aircraft with reference to the instruments (the definition of instrument flight);
the weather is VMC (wrt vis and cloud);
the a/c has a VFR Maint. Release, or you're IFR but not current...
Can you log instrument time?

P.S. Someone stated earlier, that in the definition of VMC there is no mention of an "external horizon" being available for orientation - and I reckon that is the key to this. Problem is, how do you "measure" it?
