That looks okay Dave, however, I think that still leaves a bit of ambiguity. Telling a shooter to " stop shooting " due to a condition seen by the spotter and then telling a shooter " okay,  shoot again ", which you are saying is okay  and   an  instruction to "fire" or "shoot now", which you are saying shouldn't be allowed, could be seen as the same thing.
It all depends I suppose on how the spotter phrases it.  An instruction to "go ahead, shoot when you're ready" is a lot different to an instruction along the lines of "fire now!"
Not everyone can afford a top of the heap, high power scope to shoot this game and therefore still need a spotter that can see fall of shot. While I have very much enjoyed the couple of Flys I have attended, I have a lot tied up in the 10 different categories of silhouette I shoot and need to be able to use that equipment to shoot fly.
Ask Les about my "vintage" 8X  scope I used at Mudgee on the .22/.45-90 Stevens.
I am definitely interested in the "fun" side of the match, rule 10 is it?
