The question is whether the act of walking down a public highway,
wearing a T-shirt with a picture of a person(s) on it comes under this
same editorial useage, or whether it is classed as 'commercial' (as in
commercial gain).

This would be an interesting test case!

It would hinge on whether that someone had paid a premium for theT-Shirt because of the picture.
If they had, the seller might have a problem.
It boils down to your right to likenesses of yourself, and someone elses lack of right to make money from it without permission.
