I guess this kind of protection is quite useless, perhaphs this is 
why Philips doen't disclosure the JTAG direct access to Flash 
read/write routines, but it's pretty simple to disassemble IAP 
bootloader (I've read somewhere on Russian ARM forum that there are 
few peoples who are doing this) and to have direct access to Flash 
through JTAG instead through IAP
I even read on the same Russian forum that one guy sucessfully 
overwrote (by mistake) bootloader Flash when tried to write huge file 
through the Philips ISP, thus made the chip absolutely useless 
without the bootloader code inside.
