FIA still Kangaroos in search of a court

With the release of the '09 cars, the Toyota and Williams cars seem to have taken a "creative" approach to the diffusers, in that they appear to exceed the maximum height of 175 mm at their peak through clever aerodynamic shaping of the rear crash structure.

F1Fanatic claims this is the FIA's response to the controversy:
The current FIA view is that Williams and Toyota have been clever and have exploited the wording of the rules in a clever way. But somebody may challenge it and the stewards may take a different view - it could happen.
...in other words, "it's legal until we decide it isn't."
