The Trust seem to have done a poor job of convincing the
community
that their interpretation is correct.  It is not clear
whether they
considered the problem mentioned in this thread.  Making
more of the
discussions in the Trust that led to this interpretation
available
would help them to convince others and build community
confidence in
that the Trust is working properly.
