The problem comes with the general rule that "if you can do this with standard hardware, it's OK" (as per discussions on the G15 and other nonstandard hardware).
The same thing goes for multiboxing.
The problem is, there is no precedent for non-relative hardware movements using the mouse on a full hardware rig. That's why, while I can tell you the intentions of the ClickBoxing XML you've posted seem innocent but what's innocent to me is not always a shared opinion with Blizzard.
Round Robin, Video Swapping -- those are all emulations of staggered castsequences and KVMs. But there's no real way for me, using hardware, to reliably say "I want to go to this x,y coordinate" using a mouse multiplexer.
For example, I used to be under the impression that, as long as a human is holding down a button, it's OK to have that button repeat indefinitely as long as the human continues holding it down. This is actually an incorrect assumption -- and while my intentions were innocent (i.e. A human is still behind the keys, holding down the button) Blizzard doesn't share my opinion. That's fine, I just won't do it.
So, while I understand that ClickBoxing in particular has no nefarious intentions, that doesn't mean that it's not against the rules as Blizzard interprets them.
It's a shame that you can't participate in the thread (as I most certainly feel you know the most about the specific nuances of your product). Many people utilize "forum alts" that don't match their normal character names/aliases for this very purpose and I certainly wouldn't object to that either if that option is available to you. I'll likely continue bumping the thread as necessary over the course of the next few days and see if we can spur some blues to respond. I've had positive conversations with the folks in the CS forum in the past, so hopefully that will help get us an actual response.
