Based on the actual definition it would be only black and white. Any orange on the fish wouldn't = Onyx.

Yes,, black and white.. no orange on the body at all. There are a few that will fit that discription

It is like saying a black lab with a white spot on it's chest is a Domino Lab. Then people would be arguing over where the spot was and how big it had to be to qualify it as a domino lab. What if it had 2 white spots instead of 1? Would it be a double domino lab?.

Im not that big into dogs, but I believe that judges in a show would disqualify them from being a true black lab

Onyx = a made up term for A. percula clownfish that have alot of black coloration. How much black and where the black is can evidently make a $50 or more difference in the asking price of the offspring so it is important to people selling the true "onyx" to be able to say that only their fish are onyx. In fact none of the clowns would qualify as Onyx based on the true definition of the word so it will always be an arguement over how much orange they can have and still be Onyx.

Yes, and for some vendors to charge $70 more for wild caught.
and, yes, according to your definition that you posted above, they should have no orange bertween the bars. I agree that the arguement will always be there. Im on the side of saying that there shouuld be no orange between the bars
