I hope Dave doesn't mind our intended clarifications of exceptions to his more conservative (and appreciated) recommendations.

In fact, often (always, actually, that I've tried) given Intel machines will in fact boot from an EXTERNAL APM drive/volume.

Works for me, too. It's convenient having a single external 2.5 FW drive with bootable PPC and Intel volumes on it.

That does NOT mean anyone should routinely do it.

I agree, at least not with the current amount of ambiguous/contradictory/lacking information about what specifically is/isn't supported, as RobLewis' post indicates. Kind of reminds me (on a smaller scale) of how much misinformation is distributed and assimilated about Repair Disk Permissions.
For the record, regardless of my comments on this forum I
always respect Dave's recommendations, etc. as authoritative here.
