Aboveground enclosure as a wet location?

2008 NEC

300.9 Raceways in Wet Locations Above Grade

300.5 (B) Wet Locations

During a recent code change course I seemed to have highlighted these two articles and recalled an illustration from the IAEI 2008 Analysis of Changes that left me with the impression that the interior of the enclosure installed above grade would be a wet location if part of an underground installation.

Am I all wet here?

From the 08 IAEI 300.5(B) illustration:

"The interior of enclosures or raceways installed underground shall be considered to be a wet location"

A kitten is nature's way of saying you used to have nice furniture.
