My advice is to not limit yourself by reading between the lines and interpreting what you think they meant. Read the rules as they are printed and as clarified in Q & A. I don't see any rule against using heat shrink tubing for non-electrical applications. Along the same lines cable-ties can be used for more things than just securing cables.
