 Seems to me, on the last LAHS request I received, the controller gave me the
 length of the available runway to the Hold Short point, but didn't actually
 request an acceptance, just a readback.  There was (in my judgment) plenty
 of room, so I read it back (and accepted it) without so much as a whimper.
 Thanks to LML I'm be a little more educated about my options next time.
