When I stated that the cage had to be welded, I was speaking specifically about the kind we have been using on the helms we have been making.  As the cage is made of lengths of bar stock, the nature of the beast makes it necessary to weld.  I'll have to check the new armor regs to see what they say about riveted cages/face plates.  As long as they meet the other standards (minimum guage, minimum openings, etc.), I don't see why a riveted face plate or cage would not pass.
