Proper procedure for measuring the oil control rings?

Proper procedure for measuring the oil control rings?
The FSM has me confused on this one. It says the "lip" should be 0.020 "max". The picture doesn't make any sense to me and why is it 0.020 "max"; am I supposed to believe the seal grows thicker over time?
I measured the thickness of the housing side surface and it's about 0.029-0.030. Is that good? What's the thickness of a new ring?
Let me demonstrate with some ASCII art. I measured the thickness between A and B where A is the housing side and B is the rotor side.
