So, you're saying that the *do* count the handles, or they don't?

And, I think relying on a person holding a chain could be very ambiguous, following contours, counting or not counting from feet or wheels. And how do you measure a tube, like a military-style duffel? Length + diameter, or length + 1/2 the circumference?

don't.. it's a cursory stretch along the edge.
a tube is easy-- length plus (2 x diameter)...since diameter is both width and height.
