Much as I hate to argue against the validity of my own rule, I must
point out that if 208:3's "As required, ..." statement is in fact
interpreted as a restriction on itself and not (as I interpreted)
merely an assertion that the rule is obeying a (not-yet-existing)
restriction, then the above sentence from 208:5 is inconsistent with
208:3.
