Alternate Identity PFS Legal?

Can someone use the rules given in Inner Sea Intrigue to have an alternate identity for their character? The main reason that I am confused is because the Additional Resources section lists a subsection of rules that are not legal. Since things like giving any character an alternate identity are not mentioned, I am unsure if they are meant to be legal or not.

For ease of reference, here is the Additional Resources entry:

Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea Intrigue

Archetypes: All archetypes in this book are legal for play except the Anaphexia thought-killer, provocateur, and royal accuser. The Galtan agitator gains the Persuasive feat at 12th level rather than Leadership. The studious librarian gains Skill Focus (Knowledge [any]) instead of the Scribe Scroll feat. Equipment: All equipment in this book is legal for play except bloodlink, Brastlewark brew, Harrow deck of secret schemes, mask of the cursed eye, masterful gray gloves, seemless skin, and the training weapon enchantment. Feats: All feats in this book are legal for play. Prestige Classes: The enchanting courtesan and Lion Blade prestige classes are legal for play; a Lion Blade PC must be a member of the Sovereign Court faction. Spells: All spells in this book are legal for play except assumed likeness, brightest light, oath of anonymity, and recorporeal incarnation. Daggermark's exchange can only create poisons that are legal in the organized play campaign. Other: The investigator talents, rogue talents, social talents, and vigilante talents are legal for play except false spellcaster and Twilight Talon improvisation. All inquisitor inquisitions in this book are legal for play; the sedition inquisition grants the Persuasive feat at 8th level, not Leadership. The special building materials and room augmentations are not legal for play.

It does seem a little grey on if it's legal or not.

Here's my take:

It says all feats are legal, this includes the Masked Persona feats, which according to the description:

Masked Persona Feats wrote:
The following feats help a character maintain or gain additional benefits from her masked persona. A character must be have an established, uncompromised masked persona to gain the benefits of the feats listed below (excluding Convincing Persona), and loses access to the feats’ benefits if her identity is compromised.

They all require the Masked Persona rules.

Therefore, assuming that it's not an error that these feats are legal, the Masked Persona rules must be utilized with these feats.

I am sorry for being impatient, but if the brass has looked at this post and is thinking on it, then I would greatly appreciate some sign of that. Unfortunately, this does seem to be a situation where the brass does need to weigh in. I will otherwise try to be patient as I wait for your response. Thank you.
