Would a clam-shell design that is hinged WITHIN the frame perimeter be considered two appendages, even though it is mechanically contiguous?

You could always ask the GDC, but would think they would indicate that they are not able to advise on any design. Current answers, regarding this topic, from the GDC on the Q&A forum would indicate that because the hinge is within the frame perimeter, this design would be illegal.
