Any other context to help understand the difficulty or confusion?

Any suggestions for how to accomplish this?

That's what the text currently does, so I'm not sure if I'm understanding
the concern correctly. Is it to move from prose, as it's currently written,
into something like enumerated bullet points? I avoided that because a
number of CAs shared concerns with expressing requirements like this during
the F2F (during the discussion about the difficulty understanding the BRs),
and I was trying to respect that view. I'm fully supportive of trying to
make sure requirements are listed directly as that, with the exception of
the interpretation issues they create ("Default-Deny" being expected,
"Default-Allow" being the interpretation)
