Well, we got some input that follows with as I expected.
Tyco could not provide a definitive answer. Viking Technical Services
said they needed to research and would call back, but they never did.
AFSA provided an informal interp that follows as I was expecting. The
short version is that it needs to be a rigid material. There are
several reasons why the vertical hanging batts would not be applicable.
Thanks for all of those that contributed. Again, another reason why
these forums are so beneficial.

Concealed combustible space less than 36" deep with slope less than 2:12.
Therefore, specially listed sprinklers are required per 8.15.1.6. Then, you go to
the datasheet and draft curtains required.
That requirement has been in the standard since 2002. It was further clarified
in the 2007 edition. I don't think it has changed since 2007. The CC3
sprinklers are relatively new to get the 16' spacing. Used to be max 12'
spacing 144 sq ft with the Viking COIN and Tyco CC1/CC2.

Good advice Travis, I'll try to start thinking for myself.
Why CC sprinklers though if this is your case?

Think outside your bubble. Tyco CC3...16' max spacing...5.6k sprinkler...
Things are constantly evolving in this industry. You have to stay on the
edge to always keep up to date on available products. It can be a full
time job just doing that.
