I think that any IFR approach is logable, not only the IMC ones. For
example, the Contact approach is a perfect IFR approach and from legal
perspective should satisfy the requirements for a IFR approach.

IFR is not a type of approach. Types of approaches that may be
conducted while operating under an IFR flight plan include....
Instrument, Visual, and Contact. You have your terminology
confused. The regulation requires the logging of "instrument"
approaches.

Bob Moore, please read carefully what I wrote - I did not say that IFR
is a type of instrument apporach. I used the terms IFR and
Instrument[Flight Rules] interchengeably in this context.

There are a number of defined instrument approach types - Visual and
Contact approaches are just two of these types. They are Instrument
approaches, don't get this wrong and dont get confused by the fact
that they are not nesseserily executed in IMC.

The use of these types of Instrument approaches have been discussed in
the IFR Magazine, if you guys read it - and I am not punting that
magazine here...
