Fro TNLB, The WBFLC had the chance to make this law simpler and fairer, 
along the lines suggested by David Burn.

Instead, by leaving both sides with options, the WBFLC
  - maximise unauthorised information and
  - increase opportunities for special agreements contingent on the 
option chosen.

The new L27 opens up more cans of worms :( I suppose, at least, it has 
been made consistent with all the other laws that encourage their own 
infraction :) The new law gives a further boost to those who prepared to 
economise on the truth -- here, about about information that a bid includes.

It would contravene so-called "equity" principles but it would be much 
more simple and just to penalise the insufficient bid itself.
