Glenn and Tom:
110.3(B) could be considered, and when I searched the Southwire Glossary this is what came up when I searched for the term Cable. See the Scope statement in Article 100 as well.
Cable: A term generally applied to the larger sizes of bare or weatherproofed (covered) and insulated conductors, also applied to describe a number of insulated conductors twisted or grouped together.
As far as the question concerning the "weep hole" it is to be used for that purpose only. The 2002 NEC revision in 110.12(A) and the NECH Commentary make that clear.
