Was this Sep. 2004 update ever clarified?

Has any testing been done to see what this "Damage will now be more directly related to the attacker's STR and the defender's VIT." actually pans out? My interpretation of this statement was something in the direction of +1 in weapon rank for each of those which would then make it more sensitive to fSTR function thingamajig. I bookmarked it in hopes to one day getting an explination, and I just came across it again yesterday.

btw, I think it's hilarious that Harlequin's Horn is in that list. I get a mental picture of a bard smacking a gob over the head with it after coming too close.

They fixed the weapon rank on those weapons.

Fixed how? as in they were broken before and they fixed them, or did they give htem a boost over other weapons?
