The problem is that there is no way no way to do that 2 things:

(1) is acting as a one sided keep-out
(2) is for making a solder jump that works nicely. (I have another with 
3 pads and one side is rounded, very convienient to avoid errors.)

You may have heard this before, sorry I am trying not to be impolite, 
but I have to say it: I got used to do this with another cad and I would 
like to go on using it.

Could this at least be acknowledge as a problem and go into your pending 
list? For next time you work on DRC...

Thanks a lot,
Alain
