i am not sure what you mean by the last statement but it is pretty clear that if you "lead" with the open part of the "H".. that your design will be illegal
The Q and A answer (see above somewhere) is pretty clear that any appendage must ALWAYS be contiguous outside the frame perimeter.
The contiguity issue is unambiguous...sort of...
I love using those big words...
In case you hadn't read the QA the latest in the ongoing appendage saga....
Q. It seems the appendage definition Q&A started out innocently requesting clarity, but led to being over-scrutinized. I suspect the intent of G21 is that an appendage is simply “a contiguous assembly of parts originating from inside the frame and can extend beyond one frame edge 14”.” Please confirm.

A. There is no formal definition of appendage.
All pieces of an appendage outside the Frame Perimeter must be contiguous outside the Frame Perimeter.
