I believe a Continous C rating should be one that doesn't harm the Lipo AND doesn't drastically reduce the cycle life of the battery.

This would mean that it holds 3.3 - 3.4 volts per cell under that load for 75% of it's discharge cycle without heating up to a critical level.

This could even be 3.5 volts per cell. Volts per cell under a load should be whatever is aggreed upon. (I smell a heated controversy just coming to a decision on that one. LOL)

Testing is to be done under controlled conditions. Same airflow around the cell during discharge and conducted at the same ambient temperature.

What are some of the options for discharge equipment? I need some help answering this. Please feel free to post or pm me with more information on this.
