Holding Point

While we're talking about read backs, as an aside, why does BN GND require a read back of the word "holding point" now? eg. "XXX Taxi B to holding point A7" a readback of "Taxi B to A7 XXX" used to suffice but now it has to be "Taxi B to A7 holding point XXX."

Just curious.
The latest directive from whoever puts out these directive. The words "holding point" must be read back. Apparently this doesn't change any documentation byt clarifies the fact we have to get a readback.

Another example of how this is ATC's problem. No education of pilots, just ATC's having to change what they do and pilots wondering what all the fuss is about.
