I am confused at what the current IPC-6012 states regarding Lifted
     Lands:

     -------------------------

     Page 11:

     3.6.2.9 Lifted Lands  Lifted lands are allowed after thermal stress
     provided that the visual criteria of section 3.3.4 are met.


     Page 6:

     3.3.4 Lifted Lands The Finished board shall not exhibit any lifted
     lands

     -------------------------

     In the old IPC-RB-276 lifted lands was permitted after thermal stress.

     Is this an error in IPC-6012 or has there been a change in what is
     acceptable?

     I'd appreciate any feedback.

     Thanks,
