Typo in requirements?

When checking requirements for Messaging2003 I find the strange note below
that states that those who holds Security2000 can take the upgrade exams as
part of Messaging2003:

[cut from
http://www.microsoft.com/Traincert/mcp/mcsa/messaging/windowsserver2003.asp]
2 Candidates who hold MCSA or MCSE: Security on Windows 2000 credentials
credentials may take Exam 70-292 in place of Exams 70-290 and 70-291.

I found the same note as above in the requirements for MCSE:Messaging2003
complemented with some words about exam 296.
Even if it's just about the core exams, it still sounds a little bit strange
that a person who holds Security can/will upgrade into another
specialization, or can someone explain the logic here?

 

They are just saying that the 292 exam counts as the 290 & 291 and the 296
exam counts as the 293 & 294...much like the 240 exam counted for 210, 215,
216 and 217 back in the day...

Yes, I understand how the 292/296 will work, and that I also nead 284 to
achieve Messaging2003.
My point was that it should had said "Candidates who holds Messaging", not
"Candidates who holds Security", when reading requirements for the Messaging
specialization.

Propably someone was lazy on MS and just copied the note from the Security
requirements and paste it into Messaging requirements and forgot to changing
the word "Security" to "Messaging".

 

Are you sure that you were on the right page. I copied
the URL you provided and went straight to the bottom of
the page to the notes and it did say security. However,
after looking closer I realized that I was on the security
page. When I re-entered the URL it took me to the
messaging page which does say messaging in the notes.
Curiouser and Curiouser!

 

This page seems to have been corrected. No mention of "security" anymore.
