I would like to add my own question to this thread:
If, after the DH has been terminated, can the DH re-enter the game to play defense and to bat in his original spot on the batting order? For example: DH for pitcher. Pitcher enters and bats for DH - DH role is terminated. Can DH now re-enter and pitch, or play any other position, with the pitcher, that batted for the DH and that terminated the DH role, leaving the batting order (9 players batting and the same 9 playing defense. Original pitcher is gone and DH is now playing defense and batting)? This seems reasonable and I would allow it. Am I correct? 
FED rules specifically say the DH may re-enter.

FED rules allow a starter to re-enter. OBR does not. Thus, you are incorrect.

But it is acceptable for NFHS. Correct? DH was a starter and in FED he is allowed to re-enter - although after the DH role is terminated, he must now also play defense.

Maybe I misread your question. I thought you were asking "I think this is legal under OBR. Correct? I know it's legal under Fed."
The play you describe is legal in FED, not legal in OBR.
