interesting idea brought up today about using the specific language and
selection rules to define applicability of provisions to specific
technologies or characteristics of technologies.

The rules for determining applicability *must* be documentable for this
idea to work, and therefore could be documented into the standard in
subpart A applicability:

For example:

provisions from subpart B shall be applicable when terms from a
characteristic from (reference) are included in the provision language.
It is intended that such a match indicates that the specific provision
is applicable to such technologies which include such characteristics.

Self encoded applicability! Great.

Seems like it would make any legal discussion an short one.
