I always thought it was the job of the QP detector to ignore "brief isolated
high readings".  No?

One second??? That's an age these days. Especially if it's 120 dB above 
the limit.

That's probably reasonable. But I think that specific numbers are always 
going to be controversial. I'd prefer guidance in a Note, covering 
duration, average occurrence rate AND level.

Maybe the sum of 20*log(duration in seconds) and level above the limit 
in dB could be specified. Zero looks attractive for a guidance figure.
