Hardly rocket science.

Ah, you're being selective!
It actually says: 'The edge of the track shall be defined by white lines
and (my italics) any kerbs'.
so is the edge the kerb or the white line?
Now if the white line is absent where there's a kerb it could make sense.
But if there's a white line AND a kerb (i.e. tarmac>white line>kerb) then it makes no sense at all.
Does the white line stop where there is a kerb? Are all corners at all UK circuits painted identically?
Then the new draft goes on to say: 'kerbs will be indicated by painting alternative (sic - should be alternate) colours, normally red/white onto the track surface,...' which says to me that the kerb is part of the track !
It is very clear that the MSA never consider an excellent ability with written English language a pre-requisite when allocating the job of writing regulations. Some might say they are getting worse not better. Poor show for a professional organisation.
