I'm guilty of converting a few SIDs to OEI procedures, NOT as a standard procedure, but to cover that insideous situation where an early SID turn followed by an engine failure puts the aircraft in "No Man's Land".
Always wondered about that one... When we used to use
J, ZRH 28 had a SID which went left and a SE emergency turn which went right (at 400ft). Company manual said "if the engine fails while already on the SID, turn the nearest way towards SE procedure holding point". I was far from convinced that would keep us clear of obstacles! Surely we would have been better off requesting a SID which at least went it the same overall direction as the SE procedure?
