Now we are just talking about 10 or 20 feet as the missed approach is executed, because a descent is imminent transitioning from your flight profile. Any thoughts would be great.

Depends a lot on the machine and the approach. Doing a CatII/III you don't pull the gear UNTIL you have positive rate and are moving away from the rocks. It is possible on a go-around at DH on a Cat III to touch down while going around. So, what is the answer by Mr. Chief Pilot?
