Ahh, yes.  Ok, I understand the question.  And I agree it's not 
entirely clear. ;)  (As in, "yes, I certainly understand the 
problem...")

One of the issues in writing these updates (or alleged 
clarifications) I can mention from my experience in doing them is 
that the original text is so weak and thus interpreted so 
differently, someone will be unhappy.  The safest thing to do is 
retain as much of the original text and slap on some supports where 
we can "get away with it."  Perhaps this is a case of that.
