You're not the only one who read it that way.  If that is the ruling, the 
newspaper articles sound like they were written by someone who didn't read the 
judgement we just read.  Unless there's something in the shorthand/legal 
references that indicate other rulings provide for the further restrictions, it 
sounds to me a bit like a tempest in a teapot.  Any US (land use?) lawyers out 
in Paddlewise land?
