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.
