Ed,

Sorry to do this but...

Wrong!
According to annex B, applying Step (h) we get:
k = 1  means (B AND C)
Q1 = [B&C]
D(1B) = [A&B&X]
D(1C) = []
D1 = [A&B&X]

k = 2 means (B AND X)
Q2 = [B&X]
D(2B) = [A&B&C]
D(2X) = []
D2 = [A&B&X]

Meaning the result set is:
([A, A&B&C, A&B&X, A&B&C&X] - [A&B&X]) - [A&B&C]
= [A, A&B&C&X]

Which is exactly the same as the edition 2 interpretation.
