Yeah, I take the philosophical point of view that the success criterias should be understandable, to a degree, by themselves without any supplementary materials.  

I should be able to get the gist of what they're saying without having to read the background material.

Based on what I think they're trying to communicate in 3.1.4, I don't think it's as clear as it could be.

than many of the other success criteria, and -- regardless of 
whatever information may be available in the glossary and
