>In D1.1, 2010 edition, note "e" for figures 3.3 and 3.4 states "SMAW detailed joints may be used for prequalified GMAW (except GMAW-S) >and FCAW.
D1.1:2010 Clause 3.11 is what you were referring to.....in D1.6 the wording is similar, but not exactly the same see D1.6:2007 Clause 3.23.3(regarding the PJP grooves) and Clause 3.24.3 (for CJP grooves).
edit* added actual wording from D1.6
"Groove preparations for pre-qualified SMAW and SAW may be used for pre-qualified GMAW, GTAW, or FCAW."
