Indeed, the IBer's LHO has the right to accept the IB whenever it  
suits him, whether there is a penalty-free RC available or not.  But  
it has historically been the case that the IBer's LHO had the right  
to be informed as to whether or not there was a penalty-free RC  
available before he had to decide whether or not it suited him to  
accept the IB.  Under the new interpretation floated by Grattan, that  
would no longer be the case.
