Ah - the requirement was for EMC2, not in general. My suspicion is that
the single pulse method will not work well in situations: where you're
taking heavy cuts relative to the spindle mass/power. Also, if the
material removal rate is variable (as it could be for a tapered thread
or something like that), it can cause issues.

We may get a chance to test some single-index threading at CNC Workshop
this year - I'll certainly be interested in seeing just how "good
enough" that is.
