That wouldn't make sense. "By announcement" would be a possible
mechanism for performing the action, not an attribute of the action
itself. Consider R478:
Where the rules define an action that CAN be performed "by
announcement", a person performs that action by unambiguously
and clearly specifying the action and announcing that e performs
it.

Gratuitous counter-arguments: Rule 2223 defines an announcement that
causes the game to be won, not a "win the game" action that is
performed by announcement.
