Can you use barbed wire to meet the specifications for Countryside Stewardship BN13 (Stone wall top wiring)?

The spec reads:

"
  • staple either half height sheep netting or 2 lines of steel wire 200mm apart to the upright posts
  • use 4mm diameter mild steel or 3.15mm diameter high tensile steel line wire
"

Do they mean you can only use sheep netting or plain (non barbed) wire? Most top wiring seems to be done with barbed wire here.
