Currently flying Primus 1000 in one plane and FMS 3000 in another. Both allow you to go direct (vertically, or "VTO") to a VNAV altitude regardless of routing. Granted, if you go 80 miles past your TOD, a problem would exist, but a few miles?! That's what's not an issue. It's been almost 4 years on furlough from UAL, I have not the foggiest how the VNAV worked "back in the day."
