Aren't there are a number of old commercial rigs that violate this in the PS. I think our old kitchen range violated it as well, as IIRC I had to change the wiring when we put in a new cook top.

But that's a false argument, Bill, because, as you noted, it is illegal to use the green wire to carry load current, and it's illegal to connect neutral to ground at any point but the service entrance. And also because all wiring within my buildings, and in the similar system I described to Shawn, DOES include both neutral and ground conductors. I've been through that in both of my buildings, making sure that there are no such improperly connected loads.
