GL: Statistical Journals -- not suppport by journal approval workflow

I saw this question on OAUGnet and thought I'd respond to it...

"Can anyone verify this: In R12 G/L, the seeded Journal Approval workflow (WF) will not route a statistical journal for approval regardless of the journal's source."

Here is what I found in My Oracle Support
MOS [ID 1076823.1]
"Currently Statistical journals do not require approval as per standard functionality.

The only limitation you can make is that you can use the profile option Journals: Mix Statistical and Monetary to prevent STAT and monetary lines on the same journal.
It is not possible to restrict entry of STAT lines by user."

Not really sure I understand how this profile option 'limitation' addresses the issue, but it is there nonetheless... Sometimes support analysts just hate saying "no Oracle doesn't provide that functionality"...
