ILS critical area when the tower is closed?

How would a VFR departure know that there might be another airplane on a 10 mile final using the ILS system at a non-towered field? A tower won't instruct you to hold short of the ILS critical areas with an aircraft on a 10 mile final. If you can see an aircraft on approach (or hopefully are clued in by his CTAF reports) if he is close enough that you decide you need to hold short, then the common sense decision would be to hold short of the ILS critical area signs. It's the conservative and safest option. And, it's what the FAA airport folks hope you will do.
