Thanks Kris.

Also, look at 91.129 (b) which allows the controller to authorize a
deviation from the requirements of 91.129.
It would seem to me that a clearance or instruction to proceed on course is
an authorization to deviate from a departure procedure.

Yes, does seem to authorize the pilot to forgo the departure procedure
as far as I can see.
