I suggest you put send that in as a Q&A to the official first folks. Not to quibble, but a lot of people are really lawyering it up on this whole thing. A bus has 4 wheels, and engine, and a whole lot of other similarities to a car, but most would say it isn't a car. Likewise, webbing, tie-down straps, and velcro runs may have many characteristics of rope, but they aren't called rope.

Just don't walk the edge of the rule and be surprised if you fall off. Ask the question and be sure.
