If you're going to lobby, please lobby for codification. The biggest problem I see is inconsistency - there's no way to know if your app will be accepted _before_ you've gone to the time and expense of developing and submitting it. As Kat says, not even the presence of a hundred other apps doing the same thing is any guarantee.

My advice - make a trivial change related to the issue (say,
add a little blur over the area, or something) and resubmit. Most
likely your resubmission goes to a different person that did the
original, and just as the first one was arbitrarily overzealous, the
next one probably won't be. Rinse and repeat until you get the answer
you want. This seems stupid, but I've seen it more or less work.
I think the best likelihood to getting this problem actually
fixed? Everyone iPhone developer who goes to WWDC should be loud and
obnoxious about the issue. Apple management generally don't spend
much time reading develope blogs and such, and tend to write it off
as a few people whining, but when people harrass them in person and
collectively, they might start to see this as the huge problem it is.
The problem would be significantly helped with an actual
appeal process or similar, so particularly stupid decisions like this
one can be re-assessed.
Cheers
