I also see problems with such a code. I well remember listening
to the problems of one building owner (who was doing a major
remodel) ... he pointed out that the building code was rife with
contradictory requirements, and it was up to the inspector to decide
which one to enforce each day.

I'd much rather have some kind of "visible source" requirement, which
would allow for peer review ... without the NSC requirement.
