You are correct...It would be difficult to define the standards, but since the RRCA has a long list of etiquette for runners and race events, it seems like they might be able to add a few lines discouraging attire that is overly revealing.
Well, at least they do discourage participants from shedding clothing along the course, so that is a possible hint that crossing the finish line in underwear might be inappropriate.
Again, I understand your point about the specific details and how that might be difficult to detail and enforce. Really, some of it should be common sense, especially at events that are advertised as family-focused with the expectation that a lot of children will be involved.
Good points and probably no easy solutions other than a few broad-based, generic guidelines that would potentially generate some thought.
