OK, I may be crazy, but I recall the requirement limiting the number of layers of internal glazing that can be "viewed" through. I do not see it now in the rating system or reference materials - did it change? Am I missing it?

Jonathan, The line of sight can pass through no more than 2 interior glazing surfaces. Have a look at Page 409 of the Reference Guide.
