there was a problem with the 2003 IBC and associated ASCE 7. I did an article on this issue in the NFPA Journal (Jan 2005). This issue initiated the first TIA on the 02 edition of 13 and lead to significant changes in the 07 edition. Any one interested that doesn't keep old Journals can get a copy of the article off our web page:
http://www.firesprinkler.org/techservices/articles/index.html. This never really had a huge impact on installations since spec's basically simply said per 13 and FM's typically reviewed just 13 (not the IBC). It certainly could have been an issue for any one playing in the consulting world.
