While I tend to agree with you that is a new interpretation, I would also
assume that the interpretation in the EN presented by a member of the
rules committee is the correct interpretation. It may have been an inadvertent
consequence of when the rule was changed to read 30 minutes at the control
points and then someone realized the end of the ride is also a control
point till the horse has passed the final exam. It may be that the BOD
did not intentionally make this change resulted from total wording of
rule 6.2. Namely 6.2.1.1 says one thing when taken out of context but
when taken in context with the rest of 6.2.1 means something else.
Most people probably get their final exam when they meet ?pulse and I
would suspect most meet pulse within 30 minutes. It makes little difference
to me and probably makes little difference to most riders but we should
all know what the rule means and if it is not as intended it should be
dealt with. That interpretation will make things a little less confusing
at co-sanctioned FEI rides since it removes one difference in the rules.

All this speculation and no research. I gave you all the past history
on this rule and showed the change was made between 1999 and 2000 rule
books. I still have?not received any answer as to how the change was
made. Was it a BoD decision or something else. If a BoD change how was
it done and what discussion preceded it?
?
This was done within recent memory so should not be all that difficult.
