Let's face it, the tower controller shouldn't clear an aircraft for take-off until he/she is positively certain that the aircraft cannot roll with a take-off clearance from other than (in this case) rwy 07L.
It is not unusual controllers cleared an aircraft for take-off when it's only abeam J5 on J/H. Bedder, are you saying this practice is wrong or illegal? I hope you are not our SSQO.
