Subject: hang-gliding pitch/pendulum stability

When they certify hang-gliders, do they meet pitch torque stability
about centre of pressure or centre of mass of the pilot-glider system?
The reason I ask is that I have been following Davis Straub's column,
and if the answer is centre of mass, then why hang-gliders tuck is a bit
of a mystery, but if its about the centre of pressure, then for me its
no mystery at all.
