<p>I had this same idea a few years ago and asked the then president of the WA
Tom Treveleyan if there was an interpretation from ISAF on this matter. It
turned out that ISAF had declared that the 1/2 width be no more than 915mm
effectively stopping this arrangement. There has been some discussion on how
to get all the various ISAF interpretations that have been handed down over
the years into a format that can be accessed by owners. I think Colin Smith
was going to talk to Tom in the first instance to see if they were all
available in one place on paper to start with but I'm not sure about that.
