Dear John,
Plain i.e. solid stainless steel work-hardens like copper and would
be prone to fail.  If it isn't illegal it should be.  I'm sure the
braided-s/s covered lines are fine.

Yours,
D -- who had an (unsuspected) copper line abruptly separate in his
loaded F-500 milk truck (single brake system, of course, no
redundancy) at the top of a hill, and has gained from that experience
a healthy respect.  At least when ours fail we have something left,
though I still think Saab's double-diagonal system is better.
