>Correct me if I wrongly understand English, but because of "failing >that" I suppose 'or' here is equivalent to XOR gate logic. No. Curious expressions like 'failing that' should not be used in documents addressed to a multilingual readership. PLAIN English should be used. 'Failing that' can mean 'if that is not done', but I believe that here it means 'if that is not possible'. There is nothing to imply that the 'or' is 'exclusive or'; you can put the CE mark on one or more of the other places. After all, why not? It can't possibly matter if it appears in two or three places, as long as it appears in one place. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
