Yep - hard to tell what to call them for MTs (EA/ED/rolling) since every time there seems to be a rule, there are exceptions! I agree @IfYouOnlyKnew, “in the room” is an exception no matter what! I would say a school like BW that is will give students answers in December from a November audition could be considered EA. The “A” can be yes, no, hold.
I don’t know what they do in regular college land but I thought EA/ED could be yes, no, or deferred to RD. ED is binding, EA is not.
