What does the word "MUST" mean to you?

Take a look at page 4 of the current PTS or page 6 of the October 2004 PTS:

"All TASKs in these practical test standards are required for the issuance
of an instrument rating in airplanes, helicopters, and powered lift.
However, when a particular element is not appropriate to the aircraft, its
equipment, or operational capability, that element may be omited."

Thus in the current PTS not all tasks are required.

Actually, this is yet another argument supporting an IPC in an FTD in the
October 2004 PTS. The confusion comes about with the new paragraph on page
16 stating that the table comprises the minimum standard. But then the
footnote in the Appendix reverses this again and clarifies that an FTD
previously approved for a complete IPC remains approved for a complete IPC.

So I conclude that an IPC in an FTD after October 2004 will be "not not not
unauthorized" and thus will be legal.

"for the issuance

Seems like they are not talking about an IPC here.
Your point?
