I'm with you, Gary. I think you had a brilliant idea here.

It wouldn't be that hard to put this in motion. When the GDC publishes the rulebook, they could publish a supplement with past Q&A answers to clarify each rule for which a clarification was issued. They don't have to clarify any new rules or changed rules until something comes up in the Q&A. In other words, like Gary said, it would be like legal records.

If I were part of the GDC, I would welcome this. By re-using past interpretations of carryover rules, they could save themselves tons of time wading through e-mails asking for clarification for rules that already have been clarified in past years. It would hopefully free up enough time so they can concetrate on clarifying game-specific rules, like 3 inch intrusion and active mechanism above the bumper line.
