Louise Cole,

I said the contracts have identical language, and they do.

Regarding embargos, both the JLA and the Serials Librarian contracts
state in Appendix 2 paragraph 6, "The right in this paragraph 6 is
subject to the exception of any embargo period Taylor & Francis has
negotiated with any third party, now or at any time in the future."

If there is no embargo, then put that in the contract.

Remember, the JLA board said that the contract was confusing for
authors. Not just that it was restrictive.  The phrase "in the future"
also means there is some ambiguity about what embargo will apply, even
if none is in place at the time of signigg. Either way, no one can
tell what embargo applies just from reading the contract.

I'm guessing that Taylor and Francis uses a standard contract and
wants that applied to as many journals as possible, because then the
contract can be archived centrally and it makes for tidy
recordkeeping.
