This communication is more a press release / guideline than a policy, and as such contains a fair bit of spin and jargon.
IMHO, it does touch on many of the points raised in this thread, and achieves a much better balance than the no-zeros policy of our northern neighbours. |

Normally, the only answers to this question would be: Part 1 - Yes / No; Part 2 - Yes / No.
