I'd have my minimum insertion mark inserted at least as far as the weld below 'B'. Cantilever force can snap off the protruding seattube if there's too much seat post above that weld and not enough below it. I've seen frames ruined because that section between what you have marked 'A' and 'B' broke off because there wasn't enough seatpost below it.
Cheers
