[rules-users] Ignore subsequent conditions in a Decision Table based on previous condition

[Michael Anstis]

If a CONDITION (or ACTION for that matter) is not to apply for a given rule
you should be able to simply leave the cell empty.

CONDITION           CONDITION               CONDITION              ACTION
Y
                                    result1
N                   N                       Y                      result2
N                   N                       N                      result3
N                   Y                       N                      result4
N                   Y                       Y                      result5
