This time, they went into intent. Basically, COTS computing devices that contain (are sold with installed) battery solutions are in, and devices that are not... are not. It's a start at clarity... but not fully there yet.
I'm glad they finally published something explaining the intent (I'm not convinced they explained the purpose though - maybe they can use that dictionary to look up the difference - yes, I'm still bitter). I genuinely appreciate the response and clarification.

Also, still nothing stopping me from using a laptop to power a TX1 over USB.

EDIT: Q303 is entertaining and I'm pretty sure Q&A just shot people in the foot because I know I've heard of teams (and seen at least one team in person) using laptops without the screens and keyboards to save on weight. This is new.
