My company has recently started installing outdoor fire sprinkler in NorCal, heat detection and perimeter high pressure outdoor sprinklers fed from rain cisterns. Very cool.

yeah, that makes sense. god knows i've seen duct work and pipes drilled into, or nailed, screwed...we had to fix a guys plumbing one time...a previous carpenter had drilled into his main plumbing line in the kitchen, leaked for a few years before they finally started noticing the water damage that had been occurring behind the walls, cabinets, etc.
but what you bolded are other requirements in place, which was why i mentioned them to illustrate that regs and codes are long standing practices. and anyone buying new construction-i'm sure they'd like to know jsut how much more quickly their home would go up compared to mine, or other older homes with different building materials. when you consider that, you can understand why sprinkler or other suppression systems would be a good thing.
