[blml] What is equity - added substance. [Long]

Because there is a special distinction between the two cases: in the 
first one, the two irregularities are different, in the second one, 
the two irregularities are revokes by the same player in the same 
suit, a case which is explicitely handled in the lawbook as saying 
that this second "irregularity" carries no penalty.

[DALB]

Oh, the second irregularity carries no penalty (or "carries no
rectification", as we must now learn to say - the substitution of the word
"rectification" for the word "penalty" throughout the new law book has
caused a number of absurdities that should be addressed, if it is not too
late).

But the first irregularity does. And there is no provision at all in either
the 1997 or the 2007 laws for the second irregularity to cancel the penalty
provisions of the first.
