The same thought process could go into buildings with overhangs. The code allows you to use the simplified procedure for hip and gable roof structures. I've yet to see a hip or gable roof that doesn't have an overhang. So does that mean that you have to design your building using the anayltical procedure because it has an overhang. Probably not. By no means am I saying to neglect the effects of wind on the overhang.
Of course this is my just my opinion and experience.
