I am giggling over this - not because it is a bad idea but more that Protel added a warning that there were entities on internal planes layers in lieu of full DRC for the planes. So now we get a warning that we have tracks on the internal planes and then along comes Steve and wants them to add a warning if we *don't* have tracks on the internal layers! Damed if we do, damed if we don't. Actually I think it would be a good idea - since we have poor plane DRC adding a warning that there does not appear to be a plane backoff would be a worthwhile addition.
