Are there rooftops that are not outdoors?

I know it sounds like a stupid question, but I was wondering why (3) remained after (4) was added, and figured I could be missing something equally obvious.

I was looking for something else, and found this from the 2011 ROP:

_______________________________________________________________
2-108 Log #2544 NEC-P02 Final Action: Reject
(210.8(B))
_______________________________________________________________
Submitter: Steve McNamara, Hastings, MN
Recommendation: Delete text as follows:
210.8(B) Other Than Dwelling Units. All 125-volt, singlephase, 15- and 20-
ampere receptacles installed in the locations specified in (1) through (5) shall
have ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection for personnel:
(1) Bathrooms
(2) kitchens
(3) Rooftops
(4)
Outdoors
Substantiation: I put a strike through deleted text.
The text is not needed. Rooftops are covered in outdoors.
Panel Meeting Action: Reject
Panel Statement: The panel recognizes that some rooftop areas may contain
enclosures for the protection of equipment. The existing text clarifies that all
receptacles installed at rooftops are to be GFCI protected, even those that may
be considered to not be outdoors.
Number Eligible to Vote: 12
Ballot Results: Affirmative: 12
I wouldn't normally consider a roof shack a rooftop, if there's a roof atop it. :?
