@MJ: If having TOD nodes at two Metro stations in Loudoun means that there can no longer be a line, then how do you reconcile Montgomery County?

Two things. (1) Mountgomery county has not yet reached its ag border. The zoning issues you point out are all ok so far as they reflect the current reality. If and when they get built out, there will be immense pressure to increase the density and thus sharpen the gradient. Portland Oregon is facing the problems I described. Without a physical boundary such as water or in ancient times, a wall, to resist city growth is like trying to resist changes in the human need -- in the end, zoning MUST give way.

(2) My only point has been that LC county board is faced with a immense decision, that will affect development patterns and the county character for many decades. To built this or not will be far more significant that any zoning.
