Agreed.
Still, let's cut it short and to the point. Can someone rewrite it as
it should be then (adding the missing exception if I understood
correctly)?
By the same time, could the document be written short and straightforward:
- start the document with the very policy (at this time, it's in the
3rd sub-section);
- write it in a more assertive way (not "should do" but "does");
- all other subsections should be there to explain status, context, roles, etc.

</I>
You could have said "misleading", "deceptive", "heartbreaking",
"disheartening", "expectations breaking", "amusingly inaccurate" or
"unusual". The fact is that this policy document starts with a warning
that it is a "first pass" - so it may be improved.
In short: let's behave a bit more like gentlemen this year, shall we? :)
