I looked on all of those sites for these rules and could not find any rules
at all. As I posted (I think).
Meanwhile, NGS, NEHGS and TAG have all responded to me that no such rules
exist. The editor of the NGS Quarterly asked me to give him my sources for
thinking differently.
Can you please give the exact url's on these sites where these rules can be
found.
It matters for personal genealogy, because the software developers may also
be following these rules or some perceptions of what these rules may be.
Yours,

"The Rules" which can be found at http://www.ngsgenealogy.org,
http://www.apgen.org and http://www.bcgcertification.org These are the
standards that the professional genealogy community is required to adhere
to. The reason these "rules" or more correctly, standards are in place is
to
prevent as much as possible people who invent genealogies and family
histories and charge a fee to others for that purpose. The goal is to
document all sources, and to use all available records to compile an
accurate portrayal of a family.
