Hi Mercenary.
I'm really hesitant to comment on the idiosyncracies of a particular site without knowing the full details, as sometimes there are site-specific reasons for seemingly peculiar methodologies (health and safety, access issues and contamination spring immediately to mind). It would be interesting to understand the whole chain of work on the site, to see how the mitigation methodology was arrived at. However, it doesn't sound much like what I would accept as "best practice" from what you've said. Single context planning/recording was specifically developed to use on complicated urban strat anyway, so I certainly wouldn't abandon it in the face of a "complicated" site with "almost invisible" feature edges. Quite the opposite in fact.
