Stable at a given height, remain within tolerances, go around if outside - sure! That works for any desired approach angle.
Exactly - and nobody knows that this isn't exactly what he meant by "ILS style approach". That is my point. He didn't mention anything about a 3 degree approach angle. (although a 3 degree profile will put you about 1.5nm out when rolling finals, which is not quite as massive as some would think.)

I suppose if they are treating a cessna 152/cherokee like a 747, then any approach out of the norm would be a go around.
And so it should be. How many accidents have been caused by people trying to salvage dodgy approaches? If you are that high on finals that you need full flap-sideslip to get you in, then you should go around!
