Legality of using Tape for Labels?

As the head programming/control-system guy on my team, I've been using masking tape wrapped around PWM cables as labels to indicate the location on the RC that the cables are plugged in to. However, I'm unsure of the exact legality of this, and it would be rather nice to know before the Friarbot has to be shipped.

The applicable rule is:

Although masking tape isn't primarily considered a label, I'm using it as a label (the PWMs aren't taped to anything and there's no adhesive bits waving around). Would this be considered legal under R28 or should I come up with an alternative labeling system?

(If anybody wants pictures for clarification, I can post them tomorrow when I'm working on the bot.)
