It is a common myth that this rule be new; actually this is also the curr=
ent
rule, which becomes apparent in the inflection forms "Fu=DFes" vs. "Fluss=
es"
(genitive case), or "F=FC=DFe" vs. "Fl=FCsse" (plural number). New is onl=
y that
an additional rule (viz. final "ss" to be replaced with "=DF") has been d=
ropped.
Incidentally, the "new" ss/=DF scheme was one (Heyse, 1829) of three sche=
mes
in use before the current spelling rules were adopted, in 1901, cf.

s-Schreibung").
