Well, I'm certainly glad you guys CLEARED up that ambiguious issue?
I've forgotten, can ATC issue this procedure if the aircraft is in IMC
or not????


Yes, as being in VMC when the clearance is issued is not one of the required
conditions.



And if ATC issues it erroneously, and the pilot accepts it,
who is at fault?


If ATC errs they are at fault.



And what am I supposed to say, as a pilot, if ATC
issues it and I don't want to accept it? "Unable, request IFR
approach?" or something like that?


Yup.



Sounds like someone should file one of those NASA forms, as the powers
that be need to know this is going on.


Need to know what is going on?
