Pierre,
I agree with your wording. If I remember corectly, that was the wording in Annex 11 some years ago.

ATCO 2,
I am trying to think of a reason for an IFR flight operating normally in controlled airspace would be requesting to descend visually (below that applicable minimum safe altitude) but not make a visual approach. Are they going to wave to Mamma and then climb back up or regain a safe level later when the level is lower?
Regards,
