I suggest a subsystem match here, or generally some SUBSYSTEM!="net", GOTO="end_of_file" around almost all rule files that should not match on network interfaces, as users can rename them to almost all crazy names. @Kay: Perhaps it could simplify some rulesets to have a special jump target or option to skip entiere rules files.
