What "NFPA code"??  Everything you've posted so far to support your argument
has to do with listed fire alarm systems.  We're talking an over-the-counter
residential alarm panel (or auto-dialler take your pick).  There is no NFPA
code that states I can't hook up my 110VAC smoke alarms (through a relay
compatible with the smoke alarm) to my home's monitored alarm system.  You
can twist and turn any which way you want, but you're still wrong.  There's
no statute or code that will magically transform my home's monitored alarm
system into a fire alarm system either.  I suppose everyone with the earlier
versions of the ELK M-1 Gold (that purchased smoke detectors from you to
connect to it as well) were sold an UL listed fire alarm panel and those
unfortunate customers have two keypads mounted next to each other.  Hope you
managed to find one that looks nice sitting to the ELK keypad.
