I used to work in occupational health and safety before I retired. My understanding was that rock wool was less of a risk/problem than fibreglass. You can always cover the exposed rockwool with polyester batting as Jon recommends for the fibreglass. I would definitely cover the fibreglass.

There are staples that will staple through 1" though they may be hard to find. When I was at high school, I had a holiday job at Christmas and I used to staple up large cardboard cartons with those big copper staples. I can assure you that they would go through rock wool because one of them went through my right index finger, nail and all. Luckily it missed the bone. You need special stapling machines with the big staples since they don't fit the usual staple machines.

I have no idea what that instruction about the middle side edges means. Query Jon about it on the Tweakers Asylum board or email him directly. He's always responded to my queries so I have no doubt you'll get a reply. He may have a link to photos from someone who has built them.
