Webmaster's note :- It is on my list of priorities to make every rule number on this page an internal link directly to its corresponding rule. This would be a great improvement upon the present linking structure. There is a lot of work involved however and this function will not be available for a while - I would like to point out that this development is only taking place because someone requested it via e-mail. If you would like to see anything further on this site please let me know via this link.
