Non-Conformance to Editorial Policy:

Update of FSN to comply with Editorial Guidance: The use of "and" which has the implied meaning of "and/or"

Editorial guidance on conjunction and disjunction states that the use of "and" in structural groupers has an implied meaning of "and/or" and therefore the FSN is to be updated to make the inclusive disjunction implicit with the use of "and/or". While this technically represents a change in meaning, as this is both a structural grouper and with the agreement of the community of practice, change of the FSN alone is supported.
