Could you rephrase it?

I don't see SN 35.237 as a complete form of the idappaccayata principle, because these crucial elements are omitted: "From the arising of this, that arises... From the ceasing of this, that ceases."
Despite that, I do think that SN 35.237 actually is about dependent origination, and that it covers the nidanas from nama-rupa through to vedana.
Because of a combination of both of those factors, it doesn't adequately satisfy the challenge I laid out for Tilt.
Does that make sense?
Metta,

Hmm, it looks to my untrained eye that -
is formulated in the standard -Hatthesu, sati ādānanikkhepanaṃ hoti; (...) Hatthesu, asati ādānanikkhepanaṃ na hoti
.imasmim sati, idam hoti ... Imasmim asati, idam na hoti
The "this/that" formulation is general and the appropriate dhammas can be used to populate the "this/that".
