While I understand that there are a finite number of cases that can be in the book each year, I don't understand why the case book does not continue to expand with interpretations and cases each year simply added until they are outdated by a rule change. With the current process, JRut is absolutely correct that we cannot possibly expect officials to know what WAS in the Case Book in 2001-02 or in a Rules Interp. in 1998-99 -- UNLESS they are in a Case Book that we see each year. Just my humble opinion.
