Yup, legality and safety are not synonymous. Still, I think it would be
safe
to fly IFR through a thin cloud layer (with plenty of room above and
below)
even if there's a forecast for occasional moderate icing in clouds. And
according to the AIM's current definition of "known icing conditions",
that
would be legal (for Part 91), as long as there are no PIREPs that confirm
the forecast.

Section 91.527: Operating in icing conditions.

Heh, I mistakenly quoted the same reg earlier in this thread. As was
quickly pointed out, that section of the regs applies only to large or
turbine powered planes, not to the planes that most of us fly.
