This is sort of an age old question for me that has never been answered. 10 years ago, ATC used to run us onto the final at PAE (VOR B) and say "cleared for the approach, contact the tower". Never thought it was legal or proper but let it ride as we were in a training environment and had more important things to worry about.

What are you talking about here. Do you mean you would then execute the straight-in? For an approach where the VOR is on field, and there is no FAF, if ATC clears you for the approach shouldn't you have to fly the full approach including PT?
