So if we agree they maybe have to be changed: it was something disputed for 
years.

Neither I, and sorry if reverting your change could seem rude. In spirit 
your're right but there were lots of cases where very simple and little 
clarifications, since leads to some consequences, were hardly disputed and 
then nothing was done. I mean, if there's a hole often there's a reason why, 
mostly because of no agreement reached.

Anyway I still think that any modification, any, of an offical rule should 
pass through at least a public presentation and then a hopeful little 
discussion. In this case this way is perfect or even just by a note on CSGD.

Now youv'e done it and we all agree: from my part you can edit it again and 
really thanks for the care.
