This came up in another thread...why do we have Rule 4 (can't produce off-color mana) in addition to Rule 3 (banning off-color activations entirely)? Why is it part of the format? It strikes me as redundant.

Rule 3 only bans them from your deck; it doesn't stop you from using Control Magic etc. to play an opponent's off-(your)-colour abilities.
Rule 4 says that even with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth or Mycosynth Lattice in play you can't generate the off-colour mana.

True for Urborg, not for Lattice. Lattice and Celestial Dawn, among a few others, will let you use off-color activations of stolen/donated permanents, because the mana you are adding is not the wrong color, you simply may spend it as though it were another color.

Ahh, true. That will learn me to throw in a second example without RTFC properly.

I suggest a FAQ for how to include card tags in your decklist posts (http://manabase.com/autocard.php)
