The EBU is the same. Thus, for the purpose of
restricting agreements, the new EBU Orange book
has replaced the objective "rule of x" with the
subjective "rule of x or equivalent playing
strength." In spite of my pleas, no borderline
examples are provided. This maximises the
confusion for players and the subjective latitude
for directors.

IMO this is particularly daft because neither the
simple old regulations not the sophisticated new
regulations add any value to the game.
