Lead-free Components in a Leaded Process

Can you point me to any tech papers or specifications on the practice of using lead-free components in a leaded process?

Expert Panel Responses
For leaded parts, no problem (note, do not use 'lead' for Pb as 'lead' can also mean a part with legs). For parts with solder balls, you need to be very careful. Celestica had some great papers on this topic. No specifications that I am aware of.
