I must admit I'm not a Stansted regular but I'd say the EGSS CLN 8R, as published by LIDO, with requirements to be:

"D28 CLN mnm 3000
D21 CLN at 4000
D16 CLN at 5000
D13 CLN at 6000"

Would, in my book, be an ideal candidate for the Boeing procedure, with 6000 set as the terminating altitude in the MCP...though maybe a clarification of "cleared climb via the SID" wouldn't be a bad idea (but a waste of R/T??).

Whilst I accept that London ATC seem to be mainly concerned with climbing level busts due to their airspace we all know there are some parts of the world where failing to step up promptly on a departure could potentially be dangerous or even terminal.
