原文訳を「黒」、訳者による付記を「青」、今回の改正点を「赤」にて表記します。
To make the regulations easier to read we use 'he' where the reader should read
'she or he'.
The use of the words 'must', 'must not', 'should', 'should not' and 'may'
comply with RFC
2119.
規則の表記を簡単にするため、「彼」または「彼女」とすべきところを「彼」としています。(日本語版では、'競技者’とします。)
英文において要求レベルの表現は、RFC 2119に準拠するよう記述されています。
(日本語訳では完全に対応していない場合ありますが、適宜修正していきます。RFC2119日本語訳)
