Company S(pam) has a web site, hosted on the servers of
web-presence-provider Company P(rovider). Company S uses the services of
Company X to send out massive loads of SPAM, with referencing the web
site and even e-mail addresses hosted by Company H. Now, if I'm hearing
what's being said on this list correctly, Company H is being expected to
pull the website they host for Company S (or else be blackholed), _even
though no illegal or spam-generating activity is being generated on
their network_.
Am I understanding this correctly?!?

You are understanding this correct.  Spam support services certainly
falls under the charter of the RBL.
