Yeah, it sort of leaves us all in limbo. I would think many armourers will advise the owner of the gear that it may not be 800NW, but until the FIE prohibits them... I would think it's business as usual. They can't deny someone access to a tournament because it is currently still considered FIE. Since there's no on-site testing, all the armourer can do is hassle the fencer a little.
I was probably reading more into it than there was, but I figured if he tried with her, he was planning on trying it with me. (Oh, no! I am showing signs of concern about my public image! Eek! Hehehe)

"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain."
Something like that
