Perhaps if the rulemakers ask the question and recieve an unpleasant
answer, they will consider any additional unpleasant impact (cost).

Or, maybe the answer is good and we can have uniformity in next year's
contests and people can avoid unnecessary cost of installation. Maybe
we can all install ELT's any way we want without fear of compliance.

In any case, I believe the rulemakers have a duty to resolve any
possible confusion. Just like the real FAA who must consider the
federalism impact (cost) of any rulemaking, including AD's. Creating a
rule that does not match the FAA rule will certainly confuse someone.
