Since we're all programmers and I don't think lawyers wrote the
datasheet, I tend to think that it means AND.  ;-)  My stance is that I
don't meet the initial CONDITION so (as any good C parser would do) I
shouldn't have to bother even reading the PROCEDURE clause.  IOW, 'and'
means 'and' in an 'if' statement kinda way.

How did you find that?  I was just there.  :-/

I still contend that my specific scenario is entirely different from
what the errata specifies.

Is it just me, or does it seem like the documentation writers are going
downhill?  It just seems like the older datasheets were more clear and
less ambiguous.  I've even seen obvious errors (like the max spec for
something being less than the typical) and sample code for a peripheral
that doesn't work (like Howard H recently experienced).
