Only difference being that during the game, the timing of compliance is of more importance....I can't argue that you are 100% correct with this per the letter of the rule, to me it's just an area where I personally would back off a little if it came up, I wouldn't go looking for trouble..that being said I would support you as my partner 100% if you wanted to walk the kid off the court until he complied......

And I'd bet if you brought this up to your association board and/or state interpreter, the concensus would be that it falls under 3.5.B & C.
I'm sure you are probably right...all I was trying to get across in response to the original post is that this item is not specifically addressed...I would agree with you if someone was asking my opinion, but I would rather see something like this addressed rather than leaving it open to interpretation...because you know what you get then "the last ref let me wear it!" Granted you might get that anyway even if it was the written rule, but still!
