Your browser appears to be truncating previous posts so I'll repost the
statement I made in the posting you are referring to...

"Althought ATC can authorized it, there is a rule."

-Robert


But, that is not a rule that requires ATC to keep you in Class B. It is
just the opposite.

The OP wanted to know whether ATC would assure containment within Class
B. It was my choice of words to say there is no rule that requires to
to that, but it is FAA policy to the extent practical.

The regulation you cited is their authority to deviate from that policy.
