However, the "grip region" could only be that which the owner has elected to cover. And since there shall be no exposed areas where the grip is applied, any exposed areas not covered by the grip is simply part of the handle region to which an adhesive is not permitted.
Not saying that is the case, just another way this rule can be viewed.

And I'd say that your interpretation would be equally valid.
Maybe we could get some clarification from higher up, now that the final wording has been published?
