Is it possible that "becomes unready after you attack with it" assumes the standard attack (swing+4 crush for Maul, swing+3 cut for Great Axe) using the tip of the weapon?

These are both Reach 1,2* weapons so if you are initially using Reach 2 but use a Ready to adjust to Reach 1, this fulfills "Reach C or 1 melee weapon" for the Combat Option of Pummeling (Martial Arts 111) and you can roll against Brawling instead of your usual skill to hit, but it would just be a lower-damage thrust crushing...

Since it's a lot like punching with your weapon, maybe doing that with these weapons wouldn't unready them like the normal swings would? Just a thought for a possible compromise.
