I think in a case like Mark L.is a good example of why your prop not wind mill is a good thing,with the extra drag caused by the windmilling prop he more then likely would not have made the airport.I don't clam to speak for everyone on the subject,but unless I;m at about 10,000 feet I'm not going to try diving and restarting anything,from some of the reports I've read about guys who have tried it found out when it don't restart the engine you hit the ground a lot harder.I don't remember when practicing engine outs with my instructor him ever saying if the engine quits try to dive and restart it.Just a thought!!!!!
