Insert, after the fourth paragraph of the above proposal, the following=
 paragraph:

	If moving from a flat or the roof of a flat to the surface or roof of an=
 adjoining surface unit would be illegal because of the difference in=
 elevation, but it is possible to climb down the building to a point that=
 the move would not be illegal, the moving entity may do so, inasmuch as=
 the entity has sufficient movement available to both make the climb and=
 enter the adjoining surface unit.
