ILS or LOC approach?

So on the SHR ILS/DME 32, the missed approach point for the circling
approach is 1.5 DME from I-SHR. Do you always assume that the last fix
on the profile view is the MAP for the non-precision approach on the
ILS plate? Usually non-precision MAPs coincide with the beginning of
the runway, but not always.

Anyhow, just wondering if that can become ambiguous in some corner
cases.

I just noticed an approach to Frederick, MD (FDK) entitled "ILS OR LOC RWY
23". I thought every ILS could be flown as a non-precision LOC approach so
why not just call this one the "ILS RWY 23"?

The naming convention was changed to conform with Jeppesen's view of what the
rest of the world does in this regard.

Stay tuned. ;-)
