You're switching points. I was referring to the lateral movement restrictions to which you mentioned. This isn't normally required, but for preferences is not excluded. It certainly isn't common.
Generally speaking, however, among the slackline community, quality of rigging does not exclude a line from being a highline. In the history of the sport, especially the early years, many single layer lines have been walked up high, and thus, became highlines.
If you carry the same logic and restrict definitions as you suggest, would be suggest that early climbers "anchors" didn't count since they weren't equalized - so they weren't really "multipitch climbing". I don't think anyone here will agree with that assertion.
If it helps, there is a definition of a highline on Wikipedia. The only listed requirement is that it's a slackline above the safe falling distance. Or at least as of 7/13/10.
Have a good day.
