I started a similar poll before,but time has changed things and I thought since USMS is going to have to do something definitive so they should have some input from the forumites
I don't think there is any "degree" about B70 swim skins and wetsuits. They are so fundamentally different it is immediately apparent that they are intended for different sports. And wasn't FINA going to regulate thickness? Isn't the B70 1 mm? Draw the line there, easy enough.
What should intentions have to do with anything? There is a huge difference between polyester or lycra suits and a B70 Nero Comp. They are "fundamentally different," to use your words. So why is this jump okay in your mind, but not from B70 Nero Comp to B70 wetsuit? Completely arbitrary.
As far as your "easy" choice of 1mm -- why this choice is better than 2mm or 5mm is a mystery to me -- of course FINA isn't regulating anything right now wrt masters.
