What he said.
I can tell you that these issues were raised and discussed on the floor.
There were two proposals for 43'. One was for all 14U and was rejected by the GC 169-34. The other for 14U A was rejected 161-40.
Bringing all FP in line with the men (allowing a leap) was rejected 106-84.
The additional participaton (EP, free substitution, etc.) were pretty much killed in committees and were not even discussed in the Playing Rule Committee for recommendation.
