When I attended shiurim in Halacha with the late Rav Gedalia Felder z"l I recall hearing him discuss these issues. <BR>
The context, however in which he discussed them, IIRC (and I am certainly not speaking for the late Rav but only recalling such context of a case for which I heard him discuss this halacha) was that of a sibling with whom someone was not that closely in contact and therefore it might be appropriate to avoid full fledged aveilut.<BR>
