On the other hand, while not technically a violation, it is probably a tradition that is not often broken -- or there wouldn't be this kind of an uproar.
From my own past experience with these kinds of protocals, I used to direct a pool feed for Colorado TV stations of the Governor's State of the State address every year.
Although it is unwritten, it is an understanding that nobody walks down the center aisle of the House Chamber on that day until after the Governor has.
What difference does that make? None at all -- it's just tradition.
As mentioned above, in this case there can be no censure of the Vice President because of the technicality.
