It appears that they are just providing a source of information for glider
pilots that would want to install a transponder.. properly.

It appears that this new FAA document pertains to the installation
and maintenance of transponders and other equipment mostly covered by
earlier advisory circulars. I don't think it adds anything new and
appears to be mostly boiler plate stuff. If in any way it addresses
the problem with the glider/Hawker midair I am missing something. If
anyone sees this differently from me please educate me. I do have
serious concerns about glider/other aircraft midair collisions and
have transponders on all my flying machines including my ultralight
SparrowHawk which is not considered to be an aircraft by the FAA,
However I repeat that I fail to see how this new FAA communication
adds anything new.

It doesn't, other than the FAA is currently in the loop.
