The wave of disgruntled contempt unleashed in the US when the Lynch opinion regarding what was loggable re IAP's was brought to everyone's attention could be described as overwhelming.
I don't have the reference but I am informed by my CFI that the unworkable position described has been "clarified". If you are IMC anywhere between the FAF and MDA/DA you can log the approach. If simulated, then it's all the way from the IAF, or vectors for the approach, to the MDA/DA.
Simple and sensible. Very FAA.
