The TOS does seem to be a bit vague.

If I design my app as a collection of disjoint web services, and
decide to implement each web service in a different app, is that
subverting the quota system?

Let's say I was writing a facebook clone.  I might have an image
processing service, a 'profile editing' service, and a feed publishing
service.  If my client side code makes calls to all three of these
services, does that mean i've subverted the quota system?
