I disagree.  There is no doubt as to the intention.  No-one is getting this 
wrong.  Walt had this discussion with Robert Corbett earlier, and it can be read 
(admittedly with difficulty) as we obviously intended.

It's certainly a candidate for editorial improvement sometime.  Though since 
there are newer features with confusing wording, or even straight-out technical 
defects, I would not rate this as high priority.  It's much more important to 
get right the things that vendors and users are going to be reading and trying 
to understand.

Cheers,
