(I guess you meant irrelevant?) That's what I thought, until you brought it 
up... ;-)

Diodes can be used as logic elements; as a matter of fact, before TTL there was 
DTL (Diode-transistor logic): 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode%E2%80%93transistor_logic

That's how they're used in this case to form three AND gates.

I'm not saying that diodes are a better way of doing it, just that it's a 
different approach used by at least one of the commercial modules.
