Dear  Paul (SS-Non-participant),

The Cabrillo specification is not part of  the rules for this contest, and 
thus carries no weight in this  argument.  Submitting a Cabrillo log is not 
a 
requirement for  participation.  Paper logs are welcome.

The official ARRL rules  require that I send my callsign as part of the 
exchange.

Good luck  on this one now.

73, Hans, K0HB

You have to look slightly further.  The  official
Cabrillo specifications for SS logs do not reflect the
ARRL's  rules - callsigns appear once only in Cabrillo
QSO  records.

http://www.kkn.net/~trey/cabrillo/qso-template.html
http://www.kkn.net/~trey/cabrillo/sweepstakes.txt

No  callsigns are recorded among the exchange elements.
They are, of course,  required somewhere, and they appear
in the Cabrillo "Info Sent" fields, in  exactly the same
positions as the callsigns in all other  contests.

Regardless of the original intent of the exchange, SS
is  just another contest and there's no merit in having
built-in redundancy in  any contest exchange.  After all,
who would send their section or  precedence twice?

73,
Paul  EI5DI
