I'm a bit at a loss with this. As I see it, L40A3 handles the way calls 
and plays are made, not exlpanations. But I'm dreadfully long-sighted ;-)
And the way one explains isn't subject to onderstandings (undisclosed or 
other), the way the Laws use this word.

Apart from that, please notice that nobody ever said acting along dWS 
lines wasn't illegal ; we only stated that acting along MS presciptions 
was illegal too.
(In some way, I'm more drastic than HdW  himself : he wants to be 
allowed to be illegal the way that will cause the less damage to both 
sides and the fluidity of the game ; my personal feeling is that when 
both courses of action are illegal, you can't be criticized for choosing 
any one of them)


Best regards
