I strongly urge that anyone who misses these editorial marks send a letter to NFPA "Attention Standards Council" and express their feelings in that regard. I serve on two committees and feel VERY strongly that eliminating these marks makes the new editions of standards less user- and enforcer-friendly. ESPECIALLY when a state is rolling into a new code cycle that may reference a new(er) standard. I don't feel that I've gotten an adequate answer as to why this has been done, only that it's the judgment of the SC that it's not necessary.

I for one found these to be helpful in the past when multiple editions needed to be researched to determine code compliance. Ryan L.
