My take on respecting the light is to show the bright areas as bright (not blown out as someone suggested) and the dim areas as dimmer.
I agree with Paul this is a classic photographic concept. HDR images have their followers. Done subtley I don't mind them but I am not a fan of the heavy terrestrial HDR images where lightness is flattened out with no variation.
So its a matter of processing more than anything not the camera or its well depth although that comes into it as a limitation on the total exposure length.
I don't see why its so controversial, it seems a pretty reasonable statement about making an image natural looking which is what David wants.
One measure of successful image processing it to enhance the image in such a way that you can't even tell it was done. That's a standard I strive for at times (narrowband images excepted!).
Greg.
