Desmo Due regs confusion

There seems to be some inconsistencies in the rules. From the link in this forum:

"Oil catching undertray is required. This must hold 4 litres minimum."

The ACU book says:

..."at least half of the total oil and coolant capacity"

Therefore it's not necessary to contain 4 litres.

Also several people in this forum seem confused about breathers, oil catch tanks etc. The answer is quite obvious and contained in the excellent ACU rule book on page 174. I don't understand why there's so much confusion.
AFAIK from Lin's M600 it breathes into the air box and also into a little tank under the seat. These would constitute a catch tank and are basically the same as on my MiniTwin race bike.

Brakes : "If using twin disks brake lines must be separate below bottom fork clamp-construction and use regulations."

This is in contravention of the ACU regs in section 5.24

HTH.
