Trig TT21 Transponder ... reports?

What prevents two such pilots legally flying on instruments from
colliding in the cloud?

Nothing prevents it, which is why it is generally a bad idea to do so,
even though it is legal to do so.

Cloud flying in Class G airspace is technically permitted, but
probably an unwise activity.

I would like to see the rule permitting that!

See the FAR Basic VFR Minimums:http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_20...4cfr91.155.htm

"Clear of Clouds" is clearly spelled out. :-)

Generally if the rules don't prohibit an activity it is allowed. For
example where is the rule that allows you to land on grass?

The rule you specfiy is for VFR operations, operating in a cloud is
either prohibited VFR or by definition an IFR operation.

My understanding is that if you are Instrument rated and current and
in a Instrument equipped aircraft you can fly into clouds in class G
airspace without a flight plan or ATC approval. The most applicable
rule is FAR 91.173 that requires a flight plan in "controlled"
airspace. The corollary is if it is required in controlled airspace
it must not be required in uncontrolled airspace.
