Marty, I appreciate the thoughts. Down here in Southeast Texas, the kraft paper on the insualtion is used as the vapor barrier. I haven't ever seen plastic film being used as a vapor barrier in the ceilings or in the walls. Now, I understand that up north, the plastic vapor barrier is a necessity, but down here in the milder climates, apparently it isn't. As an electrician, I've been in more than a few attics in the Houston area, and I've never seen the plastic vapor barrier used... and no one has issues from it.
