I do think Deut 22:5 has value as use as a principle and compliments the clear NT prohibitions against cross dressing and homosexuality (neither of which really need a ton of didactic text, since anyone truly filled with the Spirit also has enough God given common sense to know such things are sinful).

You apparently don't get out much. Do you realise there are gay apostolic churches (so-called), right? Try telling them that if they had enough of the Spirit they'd have some spiritual common sense to know they were wrong, and they will demand book, chapter, and verse. And when you give them book, chapter, and verse, they will wax eloquent about "historical context... middle eastern culture... narrow-minded western victorian social mores... mean spirited conservatives keeping the parishoners down like cinderella's evil step mother..." etc etc.
Many of us would say that if YOU had enough Holy Ghost YOU'D have the spiritual common sense to know women ought not to wear pants, but that prolly wouldn't mean anything to you, now would it?
Because unlike liberal, progressive religionists, some of us actually want BIBLE VERSES for BIBLE DOCTRINES and CHRISTIAN FAITH and PRACTICE, instead of just flying by what ever tickles the seat of our pants.
