The IRS is accepting comments on the issue. [..] It was a short-sighted clause put in by a politician trying to close a loophole. It's not just one politician: a great many people have been over these documents. It seems none of them realized how insane this is. Or perhaps none of them could be bothered to do anything about it? Either way: means there's something seriously wrong right there. If enough sillyness makes it through to this level, at some point the sillyness will actually make it all the way through.
