leave as is (de facto prescription) Explanation: Although rare, it is quite fitting. http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/rail/safety/actreview_aug04.pdf The wording of the definition of Australian Rail Safety Standard is causing a degree of confusion with stakeholders who seem to perceive the definition of a rail safety standard, when read in conjunction with Section 8 is some form of de facto prescription of all Australian Standards for rail safety management.

peer agreement (net): +1recommendation Explanation: prescription has 3 main senses: a formal, detailed order, a precise recommendation, or a time limit. In this context the author seems to be suggesting that the critics should not be considered as enemies but rather as experts who make certain recommendations. A prescription technique can also mean a technical requirement. |
