Scubaroo:I realise the original question was about a slung pony... but what's a pony tank got to do with hogarthian diving? Especially back mounted - the whole idea of a hogarthian rig is minimalisation and streamling - putting a line trap on your back is hardly streamlined.
How exactly is a back-mounted pony any different than doubles (or a DIR mounted argon bottle) when it comes to being an entanglement hazard?
And as far as whether ponies are hogarthian, that is a question unto itself. It's certainly not "Irvinian" DIR, but "hogarthian" is not bound by the opinions of the former WKPP project director.
