Unfortunately you seem to be picking the whole argument apart into how people view or interpret various words, when it's much simpler than that. We all know what we mean by the word 'litter', or 'rubbish' regardless of dictionary explanations, the posting of which comes across as condescending. We know the difference between something left behind through carelessness and something deliberately placed, and although this whole issue comes down to peoples' feelings, sidetracking and semantics only help to cloud it.

I myself DO find it uncomfortable to turn up to a site and find floral tributes to nothing-in-particular, corn-dollies, swastikas of long grass, which is all no more than graffiti in vegetable form. This in turn encourages plastic wrapped flowers, and other non-perishable items, and then you need a council bin to dump it all in.

Better nothing than the slippery slope.
