I remember having read it many times - Olin may confirm this as well.
But actually I did use my NoPPP programmer for years, and no chip had 
any bad behaviour, imputable to not programming it according to those specs.
And of course my Programmer was not dealing with the full set of VCC and 
else - I wanted to make it better, but then came PicKit 2 !

Might just have been a safety measure...
