How do you code the compressor?

That sounds like a good reason. The only downside might be that the prevention of over-pressurization, which is the clearly stated intent of the Rule, is made less robust by including so many more components in the loop.

Of course, one might argue that the pressure-relief valve mitigates this concern. Unless, of course, the "factory pre-calibrated" pressure relief valve is in fact not properly calibrated as-received (as some teams have discovered).

With Alan's clarification of the likely intent of the rule, it certainly seems like a good rule, all things considered.

<R78> is clear and unambiguous.

The rule is completely clear and unambiguous as to what is required.
