Also, none of the engine seals are explicitly mentioned as being covered (RMS and/or cam cover leaks come to mind).

Based on confusing wording regarding the IMS and lack of coverage for the RMS, I'd suggest thinking twice about this warranty because its not likely to save you from the most likely catastrophic costs.
You guys are great and I completely agree. Not only is the wording of this coverage vague, but the full TOS was difficult to obtain which instantly gave me a bad feeling. I'd have to fully redline with a lawyer which is a waste of time and money. Additionally, I ran failure scenarios through my head and could only think of 2 or 3 that could possibly be covered here [for example, I don't think water pump replacement pre-failure is covered, or if the water pump failed the resulting cracked head, slipped sleeves, RMS, etc etc] so I've passed on the extended warranty.
