I've sent this question along with several others to the World Council for clarification. Things like this need to be crystal clear.
Additionally since diamond wires are specifically referenced in the standing rigging section of the rules I would interpret the intent of the rule to say if diamonds are on the boat they are considered standing rigging and therefore not permitted to be Dyform. My 2 cents.
