Why asking so many questions to hide answers? ;)
For the last bit which is unrelated to the issue. Specifications will  
always be a land of interpretations. Perfection doesn't exist. We can  
try to remove ambiguities, to make things simpler to understand, etc.  
but there will be always room for interpretation.

So I have a precise question: Did you have a practical real problem  
created by the section C14?
Please give a pointer to a document online where you give your  
interpretation of the problems, then we can start to discuss about  
the C14.

Thanks
