It says right in the rule that rovers can use APRS..

the only limitation is that the tx call and grid only, they cannot use 
the "instant" messaging features and stuff like that..


why does it have anything to do with multioperator?

Are rovers themselves considered multi-op stations under this rule?  There
is a soapbox entry that discusses using APRS info to find rovers but I was
under the impression that only the two multi-op categories could use that
data.  However, when I thought about it, I realized that Rovers are allowed
2 operators and perhaps that is what is meant under the rule.  I would
appreciate any input on this.  I may have to rethink my position on APRS.
