Pace,
We are not talking flying 747 or even corporate here, we are talking light aircraft and following VASIs, If people want to this that is up to them, but is unnessesary, it puts you 1,000' into the runway - at some airfields that can be over halfway into the runway, and many who are used to flying like this will use the same picture where they do not have lights to follow, not a good idea, plus you end up with the bomber circuits that many seem to fly these days.
You might also like to remember that you should be rolling out on final at about 500', if you do this on a 3 degree slope you will, as has been pointed out elsewhere be outside the ATZ at most GA fields, especially at the end of the downwind leg and on base.

Perhaps the fact that you cannot get my username right is an indication of how in touch you are with LIGHT aviation
