The electricity supply experts on the IEC committee disagree with you on

...and on that one. 3rd harmonic current is bad for 3-phase-and-neutral 
*installations*, but in the distribution system, no-one usually knows 
where the harmonic currents go, but the voltage distortion goes 
everywhere.

Annex A of 61000-3-2 does not actually say that, and it's not achievable 
anyway. The actual requirements do result in the need for the impedance 
to be very low, but not zero.
