Independent audio feeding of the FM translator is permitted. How do you 
think a Class D station would operate the translator at night.

I also see nothing wrong with using the FM translator as a STL to the 
AM.  While I would not want to process the AM much more than already 
being done on the FM, I don't know of a reason which prohibits such.
