Everyone buying xonex tickets and participating in this forum long enough should have realized by now that the people writing the xonex rules seem to add commas and take away commas with every reissuance of the rules. They clearly are not writing the rules using the Chicago Style Manual.

You can either choose to interpret the missing commas as oneworld decided to make a change to this rule so that it is gobbledygook and meaningless and obsess over it or you can choose to interpret that oneworld's use of the same language (minus the commas) still means the same thing that it did before (especially when this is how it is being applied).
