Task Lighting Required at Copy and Fax Machines

In December of 2010 a LEED project that was certified as Gold was denied the Lighting Controls credit because task lighting was not provided at copy and fax machines. The reviewer claimed that the machines were work areas that required task lights. The machines were provided in a internet room provided by the owner for temporary use by residential tenants. Regardless, the reviewer stuck with their demand and denied the credit. I helped write the task lighting requirements for this LEED credit when I was the vice-chair of the LEED EQ Technical Advisory Committee. I know what was and what was not intended. Only one project of mine out of 100 has every had this demand made. Has anyone else ever run into this?
