As a sidebar, the standard use to sprinklers are required where combustibles are stored and handled. It was being interpreted if you had a newspaper machine that combustibles were handled. Thus the annex material to do some ‘splaining Lucy. As for the annex, I personally like it. It gives additional information allowing one to better understood the sometimes vague requirements in the body - like the definitions of occupancy classifications aka combustibility is moderate. With the examples one can interpret and apply the OH-1 definition to a porte cocheres with parked cars. Although, some material migrates from the annex to the body, it’s fairly rare. The annex has never been viewed by the technical committees as a test ground for new material.
