The rules say...
2.1.Single Operator: One person performs all transmitting, receiving, and 
logging functions as well as equipment and antenna adjustments.
2.1.1.Use of spotting assistance or nets (operating arrangements involving 
other individuals, DX-alerting nets, packet, Internet, etc) is not permitted.
The practice noted above seems to fit the prohibition of using "operating 
arrangements involving other individuals" specifically because it requires more 
than "one person" to "perform...receiving...functions."
Food for thought from one of the most unofficial voices on the list. :)

PS: now...if someone could officially define the term "spotting" in the first 
place.... <grin>
