That would prohibit software like an on-screen keyboard from sending commands to a single client - that is still perfectly allowed. Similarly out-of-game macros that only send a single keystroke to a single client are also allowed.
From a multibox software perspective, I really like the approach that Lax is taking with the new Joe Multi-Boxer (JMB) software - that JMB will not send any commands to any clients. That's a great way to ensure that your product cannot be abused. But that's going beyond the requirement.
Sorry you missed my point as I wasn't as explicit as I could have been... I typed that under the context of the ToS change where it appears to be being interpreted as:
"The use of input broadcasting software that [can mirror] keystrokes to multiple WoW game clients will soon be considered an actionable offense."
I say that because multiple people have said they received warning for just having InnerSpace running in the background even without launching their WoW client(s) via InnerSpace... I adjusted that bullet to be clearer:

Under my intended point above your section in green would not be actionable as that software is not multicast capable.
Your section in orange would be actionable if that software is capable of Multicasting even if you are only using it for Unicasting... All Blizz would need to do is add it to the list of scannble processes...
The best answer to all of this would be for Blizz to just stop all the machinations and put the "1-1-1 rule" into the ToS and explicitly say something like:
"1 human input can only cause only 1 action in only 1 client (whether enabled via software or hardware)."
They could also say explicitly say something like: "Running input MultiCasting capable software that can mirror keystrokes to multiple WoW game clients while playing WoW will be considered an actionable offense even if not being used to MultiCast"
Agreed that Lax's skinny ISboxer replacement "Joe MultiBoxer" (JMB) is ideal in large part as it takes all casting out of the picture by mainly leverages fast focus switching and thus gets us to being in complaint with the "1-1-1 rule".
