Also, another term should be added to the glossary to differentiate what we conventionally think of as a "side" and a side as determined by the frame perimeter. Perhaps FRAME PERIMETER SIDE would suffice.

Maybe differentiate a side from a segment of a side (for sides with gaps)? Maybe outlaw circular bumpers and require "organic" convex perimeter shapes to be made from >8" segments of bumper with supporting 8" rigid frame? I vote for CONVEX PERIMETER to replace FRAME perimeter (which I believe is a major source of the confusion) Given the large number of redundant Q&A, the intent is clearly not easily conveyed.
