Unless "Furthermore, starting in 4.0, all previous tomestone exchangeable gear will be available via poetics." is talking about all the gear previous to scripture tomestones.
I think with regards to their comment about previous Tomestone gear, that it may be referring to making, for example, Law, Esoteric, Lore and Scripture gear all available for purchase with Scripture Tomestones (as opposed to Centurio Seals), and ARR tomestone gear (can't really count i90 gear since the job quests hand it to you now, but maybe Darklight--even though you can get it in dungeons--and Poetics gear) all available via Poetics? I feel like that would make more sense based on what I said about how some players don't have expansions registered to their account, and only own the base game. While they wouldn't be able to equip level 60 gear, I feel like it wouldn't make much sense to allow it to be purchased with Poetics as opposed to Scripture. You know?

It would be like "Yeah, so I know that you can't level past 50, but check out this level 60 gear you could buy for the small price of xxx Allagan Tomestones of Poetics! Can't use it though, unless you buy Heavensward, but lookie! Also, check out this sick Dark Knight AF gear? Nice, right! You can buy it, but you can't use it unless you buy the expansion!!" (Of course, that could also be a good marketing tactic on SE's part. /think)

I could be wrong, but I'm basing my speculation of Scripture staying around just on how the devs kept Poetics after ARR ended and HW was released. I tend to take the things they say with a grain of salt until I actually see them implemented in game. ^^;;
