A dear friend and old Yekkisher Rav  the late R. Aryeh Jacobs OBM - pondreed
this issue with me. He guessed that the nusach of the kedusha had morphed
somehow. I did not quite fathom what he was getting at but he did see the
taking off of Tephillin by "TRUE" Ashknenazim as an anomaly and that
SOMETHING must have changed.  A, Talmid Hacham's question is often more
powerful than his proposed solution!
