That sounds a bit fussy for my tastes. I simply say that braced or mounted crossbows have the same ST requirement as using a cranequin, so you can load and fire any medium or heavy crossbow if your ST is 8, although the fact that this takes forever to really accomplish is probably why I've never had any player decide they wanted to take advantage of this rule.
