JTD,
I'm extremely sorry, but I still don't fully understand your argument. I understand that you're against the clauses given in section 4.11.6 ([...]The claim orienting towards a "process/method" should contain a hardware or machine limitation.[...]), but your point does not "jump out" from what you've written.
You should probably try a different approach in articulating yourself.
Anyways, are you coming to Antop Hill for the stakeholder meeting tomorrow?
Saurabh.
