Velcro on rope?

FWIW, non-round objects can have a diameter as well. Diameter can apply to any convex polygon.

I'd hazard a guess that they're trying to make sure the entire GDC is on the same page with this, and are consulting each other to figure out the best way to respond (or update the rule). Thus not only the omission from Team Update 1, but also why the Q&A questions on the issue haven't been answered yet.
