I guess it depends on which techniques you use (and how you use them).
Engine braking - OK.
Engine off coasting - not OK.
Being aware and anticipating situations - OK.
Hyperinflating tires - not OK.
Driving at or below the speed limit - OK.
Coasting in neutral - not OK.
etc.
Many of the "not OK's" are not illegal (for example coasting in neutral in Poland), but are not seen by the general, non-hypermiling public as safe. And would not score you points during a driving exam!!
