Thanks Matt, I'd already read that in the 2007, and was hoping for more. On another note, it is my understanding that section 8.15.1 Concealed Spaces (8.14.1, 2002) is in regard to exposed combustible construction only. This includes all of the following paragraphs in this given section. Is this correct? If correct, then the text in 8.15.1.1 that states, "Concealed spaces enclosed wholly or partly by exposed combustible construction shall be protected by sprinklers" would then dictate to me that the noncombustible concealed space in this attic does not require sprinklers. Right? But, what about the next two sections that are in regard to noncombustible and limited combustible materials? How do these two sections fit within the entire section that is speaking about combustible construction? Thanks for the help; I'll have to continue this tomorrow. I have a baseball game to go to right now.

His reasoning varies from the presence of HVAC, electrical, catwalks, etc... Can anyone provide me with a definition for the wording "throughout" as found in NFPA 13?
