Being "in" the Human Player Zone

I was hoping that somebody would ask at Q&A about this, but I don't see it, and as I'm not on a specific team and am just planning on volunteering, I don't have a way to ask it myself. So, feel free to either point me to where this is clarified in the manual, or ask it of Q&A yourself if you want:

The Human Player Zones were not given the clarification given to the other zones that made them volumes instead of areas. They're just listed as an area with particular bounds in section 2.2.3. So, I'm not quite sure how to interpret G5, that "Only one ALLIANCE member may be in each HUMAN PLAYER ZONE at a time." Is that reaching into any part of the space above the carpet within the tape, or is that just making contact with the carpet?

If it's making contact with the carpet, then perhaps something standing outside the Human Player Zone could load a Tote or Litter into their respective chutes? From looking at the Field Tour Videos, it appears to me that somebody with a long reach might be able to do so.

If it's being anywhere in the airspace above the carpet, it seems like it might be tough for the referees to enforce, and easy to violate accidentally while passing game pieces to the player that is within the area.

At the very least, it might be nice for the manual to be updated to clarify either way.
