The experimental category also allows twin engines or even jets to be built. That does not mean there are going to be Jet aircraft that can be LSAs.
Apples and Oranges Bob. LSA relate most directly to sport pilot license and we all know the limitations of SP license. Its one thing to say ok, lets allow private pilots to fly LSA's so lets allow within the standard a night VFR series of requirements. That could be considered reasonable but we are passing that threshold by miles going to IFR.

This is simply a way of going around Part 23 for manufacturers. That was not the intent of LSA and SP rule and certainly Part 23 should not be replaced with consensus minimum standards.
