One of the suggestions for which John Slatin and I drafted language asserts that where there are ambiguities or interpretive questions to be resolved in applying the guidelines, the purpose of each guideline and success criterion should be the foremost consideration. Moving the rationale out of the principal guidelines document would only discourage implementors from following this advice, who would then have to resort to another document to ascertain the rationale underlying each guideline. Of course, the Guide document will provide additional explanations, but it should still be possible to understand the purposes of the guidelines at a basic level without having recourse to secondary material.
