Maybe, but, I think it's arbitrary, since id avoids doing BLJ.

NES TAS of 2011
Doesn't look like that tag would get a clear definition. Because side/arbitrary/special is too subjective. This is the exact reason the Demo tier didn't fly. http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14776
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

Yeah it would be hard. It would be nice to have a tag or a page that regroup all those runs that is not 100% or any%, since they are hard to find if we don't know the existence of it.

The avoiding BLJs in the 70-star run isn't really a choice to not break the game (it uses a bunch of other game-breaking glitches); it's to make it different from the 120-star run, because the rule forces a different selection of game-breaking glitches. As such, I'd say that the category is chosen to produce an entertaining run rather than to aim at some sort of goal that's intended inside the game, so it counts pretty well as an arbitrary category. Not that that's a bad thing, of course; it's probably my favourite SM64 category to watch.
