No more "Left Downwind"?

Okay. The same conditions exist in the cylinder of Class E airspace between
the Class D ceiling and 10,000 MSL that exist in the Class D itself. Let's
say the SVFR clearance applies to that airspace too. What are you gonna do
once you reach it? Unless the conditions outside of it are basic VFR or
better you can't leave that cylinder of airspace that overlies the Class D.

But what if the those conditions exist only halfway up the cylinder? If
you could get SVFR in the entire cylinder, including the E, you climb in
the D to the E, and in the E to the top of the cloud layer to where VFR
conditions exist, go up another thousand feet, and exit.

If you could not get SVFR in the E, you could not do this.

Yes, you could do it under those conditions.

And since you can't get SVFR outside of the surface area you cannot do it.
