[clreq] 3.1.6.2 clauses 1 and 2 are conflicting/confusing

emuller-amazon has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/clreq:

== 3.1.6.2 clauses 1 and 2 are conflicting/confusing ==
Section 3.1.6.2 Compression of punctuation marks at line start states:

---
1. For the case of line head indent, if a bracket is set at the beginning of a line, half a character space can be reduced ahead of the bracket.

2. When an opening bracket appears at the beginning of a line, half a character space can be reduced ahead of the bracket.
---

Given 2, it would seem that 1. applies only to _closing_ brackets. But then, the half character space is _after_ the bracket.

Or, may be 1 should apply only to _opening_ brackets; but then why would one have both 1. and 2.?
