Don't burn down the building and don't kill / injure the occupants sound like a 
reasonable design criteria to me for the grounding of my amateur radio 
instalation.  The protection of my amateur radio gear takes a distant third 
place to protecting the lives of my family memebrs and our home.   Having a 
separate "RF ground" or antenna system ground that is not electrically 
connected to the electrical service ground by a dedicated ground wire would be 
a non starter for me.
