Al Respectfuly disagree.
If you could comment only on exactly what they wrote, and exclude anything other than what they wrote, you could never propose any change whatsoever to what they wrote, because, by definition any change is going to be different than what they wrote and will include additional and different words and phrases to describe the change you want ! Where you draw the line on what is "close enough" to the original proposal to be appropriate? Comments to proposed rulemaking can include changes, additions, deletions, scrapping the whole thing, etc. We are proposing an addition. They are saying "we want to do A, B, C, D, tell me your comments about it ", and we are commenting to them, "we would rather you do the A, B, C, D you proposed, plus these additional things (E, F) you missed" C'mon guys, help us out here...
