Without getting into the merits of the different positions, you can not, in
a
specification or standard use "and/or".  I personally know the editor and a
number of members of the editing committee of IEC 60950, and they would
rather die than allow  "and/or".

If you draw up a truth table, you'll find that "and" and "or" are mutually
exclusive so you could never comply with such a requirement.  Whatever the
errors in the para under dispute, it was never intended to be "and/or".
