At the "Communicating for Safety" conference put on by NATCA in Dallas, I
got the impression that there is a lot of controller sentiment in favor of
changing the AIM's laissez faire approach to crossing runways enroute to
the
departure runway.

There is a significant amount of pilot sentiment in favor of changing the
default procedure as well. The current situation seems too open to
confusion.
