All of that was provided in the original post. The entire point is that certain airlines have misunderstood the IATA guidance. That is evidenced by at least one airline (Fly SAFair) in my example citing IATA Table 2.3.A as their policy, yet completely misinterpreting it and being told directly by the IATA they they are misinterpreting it.
