I've been peeking at Stan's website and noticed some breadboarded circuits that have an LED on the serial out programming line (pin 7 on an 08M)--no jumpers, just both connected at the same time.

Is this known to work? or do you need to disconnect one or the other.
I should be more specific.
1) can you program without disconnecting the LED?
2)can you use SERTXD without disconnecting the LED?
3) can you light the LED without disconnecting the serial line?
Other than stray characters , are there any consequences?
