Here's the potential scenario:

PC has 5 Edge points. He spends one early in the run, leaving 5 total, 4 left. Later on, shit hits the fan and he has to burn a point of Edge to survive. Burning a point drops his maximum/total to 4.

In this case, does he burn the Edge that has been spent, leaving 4 total, and 4 to be spent, or does he burn one of the unspent, leaving him 4 total, and three to spend?

The former looks like that 5th point got used twice. The latter looks like he burned and spent a point for the save.
