Interesting how some stuff is Hogarthian but not necessarily GUE followed.
From what I have read, I get the impression that "Hogarthian" is a loosely defined term. I read that Bill Hogarth Main doesn't adhere to some of the things that have been referred as "Hogarthian." To me, the term means a minimalist combination of BP/W, a long hose with a primary reg, and a bungeed backup reg, nothing beyond that. I'm guessing Mr. Main wouldn't care how you manage any excess hose length.
I use a 5' hose and route it under my right arm. It works with or without light.
For me it's fine for open water since I don't see the necessity of a 7' or 8' hose when not in cave .
Some will also use slightly shorter 5 foot hoses for rec diving so there's no need for it to go around your hip area.
