Item/Ability Petrification (etc.) vs Tramplers

[TwoBits]

I guess the main question I'd like answered is, does trampling count as an attack that triggers retaliations from, say, a Gorgon's or Medusa Shield's petrification ability?

I guess that would also apply to items such as the Vine, Eye, and Totem Shields, no? Maybe even the poison barbs on some Atlantian units' armor?

Or does trampling just ignore all that?
