Real-world IFR currency

Just joking here, and immediate apologies to the several FAA guys who
respond to the multitude of questions in this group, and to whom I
feel personally indebted for enlightening me on many and sundry
issues.

(This even goes for Steve...)

"Once you have been cleared for and have initiated an approach in IMC,
you may log that approach for instrument currency, regardless of the
altitude at which you break out of the clouds"

Yes, I remember seeing that quote. The FAQ is more recent and appears to
contradict it. But as noted further down thread, the FAA didn't answer
the question directly. It seems it never does. A question seems to be
just an opportunity for the FAA to talk, sort of randomly. :/

It may not be entirely random in this case. If you look at the wording, it
appears that the FAA may simply have confused "breaking out" at the FAF
(which is what the question addressed) with "breaking off" at the FAF (which
is what the answer addressed).
