I'm not sure a footnote from the v1CAR is going to be valid though, we've already determined that v2 is required. The published rules have been rewritten and will have to be re-verified for CARv2.
This is one of many reasons why an app is the way to go for the new CAR. You'd then be able to pick a "version" and it will show only those rules. Even then, during play, you can maybe click a button to show older or newer rule changes. The flexibility I feel is something that is needed at this point. If someone only like some of the new rules or vice versa, they can make a custom rule set, save it, upload it for sharing. Maybe even integrate this with the Java program for the tournaments.

I like the idea of customization in that you tell the app which expansions you are playing with and the app will only show you rules, footnotes, order of play, etc. as it pertains to only the expansions specified. Also if you're gonna go to all that trouble, for sake of being complete, might as well include the winter edition in there as well.While I'm thinking about it, if the CAR were an app it could be handled one of two ways. The app connects to a server (if internet is enabled) and always grabs the latest version of the CAR (if it doesn't already have it), that or CAR updates can pushed out as app updates. Either way, not that the current method is hard by any means, but it would make downloading CAR updates easier. Plus it would make the CAR much more accessible. Yes, right now you can download the CAR directly to your phone/tablet or to a computer and then copy it to your phone/tablet but either way multiple steps are involved and you need to have a way of viewing PDFs on your device. Again, an app would certainly simplify that.
Totally agree in the APP-suggestion! Great idea although i have no clue how easy/hard that would be to make...
