Summary
A Boeing 717 inbound to Darwin was cleared to descend through the level of an
outbound Boeing 737 near Darwin. ATC subsequently cancelled the clearance and
there was no breakdown of separation standards however a loss of separation
assurance occurred. The investigation is continuing.

Sounds like a big difference between leveling off at 800 from a crash and subsequent clearance issued to what is written above?
Is this some watering down so not to get a media frenzy going?
Two jets at 800' apart less altimitry errors is only a loss of separation assurance?
