This came up just a few weeks ago, and I think the general feeling was something like: cover everything, if possible; make everything coverable, if practical; don't write stupid code to avoid "uncoverable" situations. So, if you know that branch isn't covered, but can't (really) be taken, it's up to you whether that's a problem or not. Deming, Who Knows Quality, would tell us to avoid arbitrary goals of 100% coverage... -- rjbs
