  My guess: If a working prototype would be required, then it would not be
possible to patent methods (rather than devices). A method (ie. a way of
doing something) can not, rather obviously, have any "working prototype"
because it's not a physical device. It's only a description of a way of
doing something.

  (Of course being able to patent methods is a braindead idea all in itself.)
