Don't you think that the normal requirement of "clear of clouds",
which applies to a normal visual approach would also apply to a
"charted" visual approach?


Yes I do, but one can be "clear of clouds" and still be in IMC in
controlled
airspace.

According to the strict definition, yes, you are correct. However, it would
be my guess that the vast majority of pilots use "in IMC" to means "in the
clouds" etc.
