Entry mat in vestibule w/ tile surround

We have a client who will do the entry mat in the main vestibule, but want a band of ceramic tile all the way around it. I seem to think the entry mat has to start right at the inside of the door frame though to meet this credit requirement and can't have that brief separation. Thoughts?

Rebecca, I don't see any issue witn this, as long as the entry mat meets the LEED specifications. I don't think it has to be literally right up against the door.
