If that's your definition, "Limited Mode" should be defined as  
a multiband vertical (e.g., flagpole), an endfed wire or a 1/2 
wave dipole/inverted V no higher than 50 feet.  Anything beyond 
the most basic antenna and single transceiver is initiative and 
experimentation.  

Using that most basic "limited mode definition" makes it available 
to even the HOA/deed restricted amateur.  Any expansion beyond 
that is entirely arbitrary ... you then start picking the "winners" 
(the enhancements you approve of) and the "losers" (those who 
exceed your personal standards).
