Actually we have been counting our OOT defs. (and yours)

Also there are some flimsy details to that.

Cluster def does not count because game mechanics are made for that, so it is meant to happen.

25% of total def fleets is to be read as total def fleets of the whole round.

3 times a week, means 3 times in the timespan from monday 0000 till sunday 2359. So you can do 3 on saterday and 3 on tuesday.

If you try to 'catch' a wave of fi/co with prelaunched fi/co def (or any other pl'd def) it counts as a def, whether there is a counterparty or not. I.e. even without an attacking fleet, your pl'd out of tag def, counts as out of tag def.

Because of the aformentioned, if your total number of defs at some point is 25% out of tag, you can start sending def and recalling ingal for a while without any opposing fleets, so your total number of defenses goes up, so it stays under 25% .....

Its all a bit shifty and it is totally not meant by the rule. Alliances defending other alliances especially when they are the 'main acting alliances' should be allowed.
