I hate to argue with you, but at this point in time, the practical definition of what is and is not traveller is whatever Mongoose and Miller agree to. They have agreed that Traveller is a system and the OTU is a setting. You can either work with it or walk away from it. There really is no middle ground.
I use to write for D&D. Well, let me be specific. I use to write for the 3.5 version of the d20 system on a 3rd party basis. I don't like 4E so I choose to walk away from it. You have the same choice in front of you. Simple as that.
What exactly is "the larger Mongoose question"?
It means I can link it to a set of rules that I don't particularly like (sorry, but it's true - I use a mixture of CT, MT and T4, and nothing I've seen in Mongoose Traveller comes close).
CT is Traveller. So is MT. So are TNE, T4, GT and T20 (and others). Do they all use the same rules? No. There are even Traveller novels and short stories. What makes all these Traveller? The OTU.
They didn't allow us to reference the OTU *at all*.

I have *no idea* how this relates to the larger Mongoose question.
