OK...Why aren't the requirements in section 424.1.6.1 of the FBCB and
section 403.8 of the FBCP consistent with each other?  Text below is
from "glitch amendments" (AKA second supplement to 2007 codes).  Section
424.1.6.1 has exception for sanitary facilities in buildings with
elevators...whereas section 403.8 does not have this exception.  Was
this discrepancy corrected?  Is there another supplement that I am not
aware of?
