Will LLs and TGPs generally accept sites with content softer than the definition below?

It is worth noting that only A-D of Sec. 2256(2) is mentioned in the definitions, but not E (lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of any person). It seems to me that content featuring models without pants can be exempt, provided that the models are not engaged in "actually sexually explicit conduct" described in 2256(2)A-D.
Maybe not a big deal, but if you want to stick with exempt content this seems to open a wide range of choices beyond just boobs and panties.
On a related note, I would like to find out what "(D) sadistic or masochistic abuse" means. A lot of people that I know enjoy sadistic and masochistic play, but since it's always consensual we would never think of it as "abuse". It's probably wishful thinking to imagine that the DOJ would feel the same way.
Clearly any type of painful sensation play (spanking, nipple clamps, needleplay, etc) is sadistic and masochistic, but what about plain old rope bondage?
How about bondage where the model isn't even nude?
I know that I'll have to spend some $$ and talk to an attorney experienced in adult law if I want real legal advice, but I would be interested in reading other webmaster's thoughts on exempt adult content.
