I hear ya on all points and agree with a lot. Just to clarify, I wasn't meaning to limit the hip orientation, just that there is no reason to move the x and z positions, UNLESS you are posing it with something else. Besides the standard pose file will not include body positions or orientations, so that could be whatever you have. Note: if you move the hip in the x or Z direction, then spin the body around the y-axis, instead of spining, it now moves in a circle, and this could be a very large cirle. Most customers don't like a pose that moves the figure some distance. At least that is what I have been told. They just want to pose the figure as is. I think what you said was valid, I didn't know if you understood what was written. No need to worry, I will clarify it in the final draft.
