Given those guidelines, a significant chunk of the MORR catalogue must be redubbed as eps!
I think that before one adopt this or that guideline, one has to look at the usefulness of that guideline for the needs at hand. Obviously, evolving technology, changing mediums and media have shed light on the arbitrary nature of categories designed to address certain needs and specific epochs.
I'm not sure how useful the guidelines which determine Billboard playlists, radio formatting or marketing rules are in light of music which will rarely find its way into any of the aforementioned arenas - just as I'm not certain the older and just as arbitrary categories that are based on the physical size of the media apply to music which often exists only on drives in cyberspace. Nothing is simple these days. Actually, it never was. Maybe it's just less easy to pretend.
