It's also current policy. I tacked it on only for reference. I'm not
accepting amendments that change that paragrpah, because I am only changing
a prt of policy to document existing practice, but you're quite welcome to
make your own proposal.
(It's odd -- in my last two proposals, I have quoted a little scrap of
context, and people have been keen to change that. Perhaps more people
should be reading policy and seeing what they think needs to be changed in
it.)
