cunard: thank you for the analysis...
Maybe Black must not castle when rook goes to h3 or Black must play Be7 (and not Bb4+) at the beginning to avoid the attack.
11.Nc2 Be7 12. h5 (Sveshnikov-Gulko,Tashkent 1984 (BCO)) Nf8 13.Rh3 Nh7 14.Bd3 (14.Rg3 Ng5 15.Nxg5 hxg5 16.f4 Qc7! 17.fxg5 f6) Ng5
Black will keep the knight on g5 square, because some exchange might open the h-file for the h8 rook. Then Black can play Qb6/Qc7 and choose between long castle or Rc8.

Is there anything wrong with the original(?) idea of castling (10 .. o-o) intending after h5 to go Nh8, f6 & Nf7? Obviously it's a different kind of line but it does let you play the Ng6 idea. 
(10 .. f6 ^ h5 Nxe5 etc is sadly almost certainly rather unsound )

I don't really like the look of the 10 .. h6 lines but it might just a predujice against playing f5.

French Advanced Variation 5..Bd7
Analysis by Jim Hawksley
 John Watson's book Play the French 3 is a bible for French Defence players, over the years I have found John's ideas and analysis to be sound and to stand up well in practical play. One of lines I have played frequently against the Advanced variation is 5...Bd7, this move is very flexible as it waits for White to commit himself to a plan. I have enjoyed success against all of White's attempts for an advantage from this position.
Recently I played an internet game on ICC and followed Watson's recommendation of 6...Nge7, the game played out as per book till move 17. when my opponent varied with 17.Qd2. I now played GM McDonald's suggestion of 17...Be8? and got hit with 18.Bxh6!! (see page 33 of Play the French 3) The game and analysis is presented below. If anyone can suggest improvements for Black apart from avoiding the whole line they will be greatly appreciated.

17...Be8? This suggestion by McDonald loses! so Black must find another move, one idea I have looked at is; 17...Qb6!? 18.Rb1 ( 18.Rxg7?!

Any one any ideas, apart from avoiding the whole line?
