So does b and c "follow" a, what is the definition of follows. I agree with your reasoning but we are talking about the spec. Just that off-hand statement about every area being better than an area "below". I think they need to explain the implications of what the definitions are. If you think of last-starting as sort of the opposite of first-including-carryover (which doesn't need to have an is-last), then the parent "a" actually comes first.
