Are you sure the quoted sentence was in the rules last year? It's not in the copy of the 2007 rules I have handy (the rule was <R35> then). Last year's Q&A said "non-skid tape" was not allowed.

I believe some teams were able to find products labeled "sheeting" instead of "tape" and skirt the rule.
