Well, one potentially worrying problem here; if a rule's text has a
lower power than the rule itself (say 0), then the text cannot affect
any aspect of the rule's operation. So how on earth does the rule know
what it's enforcing?
Arguably, the text is part of the rule, thus must have the same Power.
(For instance, the first half of a passed proposal has the same Power as
the proposal itself.)
Gratuitous: The text can be duplicated in different context (e.g. as
the text of a proposal or contract), but then arguably it isn't its
[the rule's] text any more.
