Well, that's exactly what I said in my post, Walrus.
As I said, IFR flights can and have been operating in GAAPs in VMC.
And it appears IFR flights get better protection from VFR flights in GAAPs than in Class D. According to the AIP (effective 27 AUG 09)
ENR 1.4-9, for GAAPs , in IMC IFR will be separated from IFR
and VFR but in Class D, separation is only provided between IFR and IFR and IFR and Special VFR.
Go figure.
