Yes. The Adv RMAN class I took had a script for doing this in the lab. We'd mess up a couple blocks and recover just bad blocks. Actually, I'd like to test flashback stuff in 10g, too.

Plus, the above command syntax will be required frequently with crs (ocr, voting file) reinstalls.

For what its worth, someone told me bbed long ago and I don't remember. :-)
