Ah, crud, you’re right. Rule 2166:

Moving that clause to that position was meant to end-run the question of 
whether existing pledges convert. However, the way I judged CFJ 3559 probably 
implies that I can insert a clause to the effect of “No clause of this proposal 
CAN create pledges implicitly” and have that work the way I want, instead.

I could also create a transient rule at the start of the proposal, and repeal 
it at the end, but that feels like an extreme solution.
