I believe we have a precedent of treating "FOR" as a synonym for "SUPPORT" and "AGAINST" as a synonym for "OBJECT" in decisions on dependent actions. They seem eminently reasonable substitutions, which fall under the purview of R754(1). The same provision likewise makes "AGAINT" an acceptable synonym for "AGAINST", and it has been so interpreted (recently by Murphy as assessor). -zefram
