Ben,
My interpretation of <R46> is somewhat different than yours. I believe that the intent of the rule is to prevent electro-mechanical actuators. An example is the solenoid in an old fashioned door bell.
I would argue that "pneumatic solenoid valves" come in two flavors, air-piloted and direct acting, both of which would be legal.
This would be legal while this would not.
JMHO.
Mike
P.S.: Someone should post this to the FIRST Q&A to get a definitive answer.
