Doesn't
  "Furthermore, the BYDAY rule part
      MUST NOT be specified with a numeric value with the FREQ rule part
      set to YEARLY when the BYWEEKNO rule part is specified"
conflict with
  "The
      numeric value in a BYDAY rule part with the FREQ rule part set to
      YEARLY ...
      when the BYWEEKNO or BYMONTH rule parts are present."
?

Other than that, the original wording makes more sense to me.  It's
saying that numeric BYDAY's are treated as weeks within the year when
you've already specified a week within the month or you're filtering
by month.

It would be nice if it specified what BYDAY meant where FREQ=YEARLY
and none of (BYMONTH,BYWEEKNO,BYYEARDAY are present, so I would prefer
the last line read

  "when the BYMONTH rule part is not present".

Specifically, I still don't see
  RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYDAY=1MO
fully specified.
