Past practice has been for the Fed to release their Interpretations to clarify the mistakes and unfortunate wording they released in the previous rules and POE's. Maybe they'll clarify this then, for those that really seek clarification.

My post was intended to be a bit sarcastic.

As you say, the wording is poor at best.
