(e) The approach may be continued below DA/H or MDA/H and the landing may be completed provided that the required visual reference is established at the DA/H or MDA/H and is maintained.

I think the term "at the DA/H or MDA/H" make it unclearly, every approach may be continued if a element of the approach light .... are in sight. Isn't it fully legale to count on that, to continue in that case just before the "approach ban point"?
Next, the word visual is relly pluryvalent, so the sheeps on the green can use the meaning that makes your guilty. Say on radio what you see, it sounds silly but it is clearly.
Talk with the controller before, the weather might not be equal at all directions, perhaps against the sun, or due to smoking hills, use the best suitable RWY. If you are sure to met a safe approach, make a statment after the landing.
