Besides Brawn only proposed it to FOTA which is not the organisation that votes the rules. As I understand it, they can only word their opinion on what the rules are and propose changes, but it's ultimately the FIA that writes and votes the rules.
Fabs, you don't know how each question was worded? What about Ferrari's wing mirrors? Same issue. The problem is the rules, but do you really think it's fair to punish Brawn by removing their points? Afterall, only Renault were allowed an engine redesign this winter!!

P.S. The 3 diffuser teams are the three teams who didn't take part in writing the rule, and didn't have preconceptions about what it intended nut just read it, worth bearing that in mind!
