No, P4329 was later:
Amended(6) by Proposal 4329 (Goethe), 9 June 2002
So...
Initial Rule 210 already used the term "take effect" without defining it:
An adopted rule change takes full effect at the moment of the
completion of the vote that adopted it.
So did Rule 594/1:
A Proposal may contain one or more Rule Changes. If a Proposal
containing Rule Changes is adopted, the Rule Changes contained
in the Proposal shall take effect in the order they appear in
the Proposal.
The language about implementing provisions was added in 594/3, by
Proposal 3445 in 1997 (the ruleset immediately before, according to
the history in agora_zefram0, did not contain the word "implemented").
