Curious. I think there could be a distinction between "MAY instead"
and "instead MAY" in this case. The proposal uses the former, which I
read as saying "in this case, the ADoP is allowed to use this
alternative means of satisfying the SHALL" whereas the latter is more
what you describe ("in this case, the SHALL is downgraded to an
alternate that's only a MAY").
Ah, I didn't think of the fact that those two could have different
meanings. I think it could possibly be slightly ambiguous, but now that
I've thought about it more I agree with your interpretation of it.
I change my vote on 9300 to FOR.
