It was pretty obvious that what Ichiro did was not rounding. There was no way he was going to continue to home, seeing that the ball was fielded by the shortstop. Runners round bases when they anticipate they'll continue on. What Ichiro did was intentionally put himself in the perceived path of the throw.
