That said, however, the question of whether a countertenor may legitimately sing a given alto line (let's leave the sopranos out of it--I never heard of a countertenor who could hit a C above the treble clef and live to tell about it) [...]

Arno Raunig has famously recorded the Alleluja from Mozart's Exsultate Jubilate with its (unwritten but obligatory) soprano high C at the end. (Whether it's beautiful is an interesting question, but he certainly sings it.) Aris Christofellis is also reputed to have a usable high C. There are probably a few others.

I've never heard either singer live.
