First of all they are named by subregional centers rather than RSMC. Secondly, discrepancy had been so common between subregional centers and RSMC so it's not surprising that subregional center name them as MTS when RSMC considers them subtropical.

Subtropical cyclone
It clearly stated that the disturbance must be MTS. In other words, a subtropical disturbance has to acquire tropical characteristics to reach MTS stage and be named. This is indeed exactly what NHC had been doing prior to 2002.

Extratropical cyclone
The source given (Lesson 16 – Extratropical Cyclones by Dr. DeCaria) does not exclude polar low from extratropical. The linked article "polar cyclone" even use a vortex over Maine as example, which is clearly an extratropical system.

Jason Rees is unable to provide any counter reference against the government source (from .gov.tw and .gov.cn) and unable to justify the irrelevance.
