However, I cannot see enough difference in the wording of the rules in both rulesets to warrant treating them differently. I was hoping for somthing out of a casebook or interpretation manual to explain the precedence you guys have pointed out other than just saying, "Thats how we all do it".
thanks.
Fair enough. However, I believe there's an important difference between, "That's how we all do it" and "That's what the supervisors of the two organizations have been telling us to do for years," the latter being the case. I'm not an OBR or FED guy, I'm both - when you do both you become well versed in both the actual rule differences and the differences in the way we are told to interpret rules. This is one of those.
