At first, I thought this was another ladies class post...... :)
Sounds like your building something! Total WAG here, but you may get
into an interpretation of what "seal" means. I'm supposing that contact
with the ground is completely out. If you were to maintain a consistent
1/4" gap could one argue that the same function is being performed,
although with less efficiency? (I'm guessing ground sucking down force,
right?)
I think your definition of what a skirt is sounds right. If you have
some ideas, maybe shooting a letter and some sketches off to to Denver
might be productive? Good luck.
