I agree with Wordwind. Just because something is NOT applicable, doesn't automatically mean that it IS applicable. It could be neutral. As wofa said, in the middle. This is getting away from the double negative, but the principle is the same: if I say I am not coming to England next month, it doesn't automatically follow that I AM coming some other time. There are other possibilities, just as there are with the not inapplicable idea. It is not inapplicable that I plan on coming to England next month; but it isn't necessarily applicable that I do plan on it, either.
