If you are going to prohibit calling that cinques, does not the same logic
prohibit calling the following major?

x45x45  le 256 (producing lead head 13425786)

But, according to today's rules, that *is* major, a perfectly legal
little plain differential major method.

And, with Tim's example, a band might choose to ring the same thing,
but with calls moving one or more bells between the front and back
sixes, at which time it would surely become cinques? So you'd be in
the rather unfortunate situation of having two different methods, one of
cinques, and one of something else, but with exactly the same place
notation; and which one you were ringing would depend upon which calls
you chose to use. Particularly entertaining if you spliced them.
