If at any point you come up to your assigned runway you may not cross

it.

Hm - I wonder how many people understand that you can't cross the
assigned
runway to get to your taxi-to point (if, for example, your destination
is on
its far side).

That's pretty basic. Everybody should know that when I say Taxi to Ry34
you can cross anything on the way to Ry34, except of course Ry34 itself.

Agreed, but I was wondering if you would, or could, issue a taxi to an
intersection on the far side of the assigned runway (say from the ramp at
the west end of your taxiway B to run up on B on the east side of 10L; the
AOPA diagram doesn't show the BIL intersection numbers)

Yes, we do all the time. One of the cargo companies has their fleet of
Beech 99's over there. They taxi all the time to the postal ramp which
is between C and D on the south side. In that case it is either "hold
short" or "taxi to the ramp". If they want to take off and they want
the full length they have to tell me. Otherwise we will say taxi to ry28R.
