xONEx fare rule changes (in conjunction with the 10% sale)

New xONEx fares were loaded into the GDSes today (or very recently). Along with the new sale prices, I'm seeing some changes in the fare rules. Here's the biggie:

Code:

          WHEN TRAVEL ORIGINATES IN A COUNTRY FOR WHICH A       
          SPECIFIC LOCAL CURRENCY FARE IS PUBLISHED AND         
          THE TICKET IS SOLD IN ANOTHER COUNTRY THE FARE        
          WILL BE THAT PUBLISHED FOR THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN      
          CONVERTED TO THE CURRENCY OF THE COUNTRY OF SALE      
          AT THE BANK SELLING RATE. THE RESULTANT FARE          
          MUST NOT BE LOWER THAN THAT FROM THE COUNTRY OF       
          SALE.                                                 
            EXCEPTION - NOT APPLICABLE FOR SALES MADE AND/      
               OR TRAVEL ORIGINATING IN CANADA OR WHEN BOTH     
               TRAVEL ORIGINATES AND SALES ARE MADE WITHIN     ‡
               THE EUROPEAN COMMON AVIATION AREAS /ECAA/.      ‡

The ECAA exception used to be an "or," not an "and." So, for instance, I just purchased an ex-LON ticket in BDA and qualified for the exception; under the new rules, I would have to purchase the ticket in LON as well as originate from there.

Edited to add: Looks like the PDFed rule sheet on oneworld still shows the old rules.
