The first version also seems implicit to me. If we both feel that way I take that as evidence it might not actually resolve our disagreement. I think I would be PRESENT or a weak FOR on that one. I think I prefer the second, sort of grudgingly. The exception it describes is not part of my personal view of the rules, but (a) our escape valve for distributing unpended proposals depends on this point of view and (b) if it's in the rules, then I guess the rules are okay with it... so, I think it has my vote. I'd prefer lower-case "should" based on ais523's argument. - Falsifian
