IMO one of the biggest recurring grammatical issues in the Rules is whether "CAN and SHALL in a timely fashion" is "CAN (and SHALL in a timely fashion)" or "(CAN and SHALL) in a timely fashion". It's come up a few times at least but does anyone remember if we solved it in a CFJ somewhere? Obviously the flipped form in R2154 is a grammatically strong case for (2). I tried at one point to introduce the definition WILL (e.g. "The AdoP WILL initiate...") where WILL means one of those two options, but I think opinions were split on which option should be the default. There are use cases for both.
