And, this is now the interp because 5-5.C was added to ADD that circumstance where the appeal was on the affected runner, but, instead, is being used to limit the following runners? Can I assume you are proposing a rule change or editorial revision to clarify what everyone has known all along?

Would not an appeal on a preceding runner to nullify runs most likely be a runner who also scored? Yes, I know someone is going to come up with a diabolical TWP with Dr. Evil and Mini-me involved, but I'm speaking of a general rule as a starting point.
Personally, I believe "C" should be deleted and the "Note" under 5.5.B.3 be moved and reassigned as 5.5.C.
