From charghwI's posts, it sounds like he's a strict descriptivist.  For a 
strict decriptivist, there's no difference between 'doesn't appear' and 
'isn't allowed'.  Any deviation from what normally appears is considered 
highly marked.  If a native speaker used it, other native speakers would 
understand, but they would also know it broke the rules.
