I agree. Otherwise, we get into the arguments of "what is an acceptable amount of white?" -- Is the White Rawlings "R on a red background okay? What if it was a red "R" on a white background (about the size of a quarter)? What if part of the lace was white? ...
Also of interest, I think, are:
#10 -- a situation that has been discussed here many times. FED has chosen an answer that is contrary to other codes.
#13 -- A good clarification, imo -- especially since #12 and #13 are the same play, the ruling shows the logic and clarifies the rule.
#14 -- A rule change, but supports the unannounced significant change to case 9.1.1M. Again, FED has gone away from the other codes.
#19 -- Again, a play that has been discussed here. I'll have to check my files, but I think this is a change to a previoulsy issued interp.
