Jeff,

I can't resist.  Your loop hole is simple; use LRFD.

Chuck...we are reading it as yes we do have to change our ways, and the 1/3
increase is no longer an option (with the exception for wood).  I wish we
could still take it, but we haven't found anything that will allow it.  If
somebody knows of a loop hole, please show me where I can find it in the
IBC.
