In this case it's a non-issue, because it won't really matter if he updates 
the web page while the Clock is off, as the changes are just going to undo 
themselves anyway.  And the change is important, because without it, we 
could not judge CFJs while the Clock is off because only those actions 
specifically allowed by the rules may take place then.  It seemed to me that 
this would be the best way to accomplish that.
