I believe one of the issues here is the categorization of the separate 
account requirement as political, when I suspect most would see it as a 
purely administrative/technical matter and the textual change as a 
clarification of existing policy well within the remit of the DWG.

I would like to make it very clear that the policy is being applied 
evenly, there was for example a 50'000 man hole import in Germany (in 
one city nota bene) a couple of weeks ago that ran in to similar issues 
and caused a minor ruckus. In no way is the French community being 
singled out. The sheer volume of the cadastre import is simply making it 
more likely that there are more French mappers importing data at a such 
level that they will catch the attention of the DWG.
