arearadar and Pontious ... A "guess-ident" by an experienced controller doesn't conform to established rules, of course. UKADGE operators were, in my experience, not quite as picky, but they usually got it right.
I spent much of a tour at 11Gp getting ATC and ADGE talking the same language ... But the full ident procedure of turns and/or squawk doesn't deny the fact that an experienced operator knows what he's looking at, in his own airspace, with a high degree of certainty. Regardless of whether they're talking to each other.
