One could argue this style is actually stronger in side load against a "pinching" force in plane with the roll hoop, which is what the rule is meant to preserve.
But since that's all interpretation, we've reached out to a regional NASA official to give a final go/no-go call on this element of the design. We'll update with what we hear.

My #1 gripe with the normal NASA book, NASA Rally allows it and so does everyone else.
