Okay, since a monk's unarmed strike is considered both a natural and a melee weapon (and can be affected by spells or effects that target either), can a monk effectively gain the unarmed attack damage a monk one size larger by taking the Improved Natural Attack feat?
I've checked the errata and FAQ and haven't been able to dig up an answer.

Personally I don't allow it, and every time I've seen the issue come up, the response from higher-ups at WotC and the majority of the experienced players on WotC's forums has been to not allow it. However... The latest Sage Advice column has completely reversed that. It's been added to the FAQ, version 10/27/05, on page 13, second column.
IMO, that ruling was made in error, but for now it's official.
