That's probably not sufficient.  I suggest adding "Without N
Objections and With M Support" as a fourth method, adjusting the parts
that refer to N to also refer to M, and adding a new satisfaction
clause to R2124.

R1728?  I think we used it that way a couple times "way back when (before
repeals?) and I like it myself.  I haven't personally been tracking various 
tinkerings with the Rule so I don't know what was intended, don't see the
harm in enabling in within R1728 (root's right in that it's ambiguous
so a R1728-fix wouldn't hurt).  -G.

That's not the way I was interpreting it.  If you mean it to be nested
like that, you should make the nesting explicit, especially since
you're using R1728 in a way it wasn't meant to be used.  Also, I'm not
convinced that R1728 doesn't simply allow the inner layer to be
bypassed.  For example, if the nesting were "CAN (ratify ... without
objection) with support", I could envision the following
interpretation:

I publish official report X, which if ratified would make me dictator.
I intend to (ratify X without objection), with support.
I cause Player B, on whose behalf I can act, to support this.
Having obtained the necessary support, I hereby perform the action
"ratify X without objection" as permitted by R1728.

How would this affect time limits?

"Without 2 objections, with 2 support, I intend to beh" would mean that
you would have to intend to (beh with 2 support) without 2 objections.
After the objection time limit had expired, you could perform the action
with 2 support, and the support could have been given earlier, if you'd
given 2 separate intents. So that works as expected, but looks a little
strange:

"Without 2 objections, I intend to with 2 support beh"
"With 2 support, I intend to beh"
(objections/support happen here)
"Without 2 objections, with 2 support, I beh"

The other way round also works but has different intents. The
double-intent required here also looks very strange.

Okay, let's take it from the point of view of one of these methods.
The Without Objection part of Without Objection AND with Support
would ask:

1.  Is the initiator authorized to perform the action?
2.  Yes, but only with Support.
3.  Therefore if e has support, e satisfies (a) for determining
if e's authorized to do it without objection;
4.  Therefore e can do it (with support) without objection.

And the nesting works the other way too, of course.

I agree that it's perfectly clear what's intended.  But R1728 isn't
looking for extension, it's looking for one of those three method
schemata, period, and if the method doesn't match, then R1728 doesn't
apply to it.  Since R1728 is the only rule that describes how to
perform an action dependently, the action would probably be
unperformable.

In any case, Agoran Consent probably works well for anything that we'd
want to make with support and no objections.

This compound method isn't one of the methods listed in R1728(a).  The
paragraph does say "at least one of the following methods", but I
think that just means that the rules can define multiple methods for
performing the same dependent action, not that an otherwise undefined
composite of multiple methods is allowed as a single method.

Both LLAMA() and SELL() implicitly define a conditional vote.  On the
democratic proposals, one of these is invalid, but it's unclear which
one.  Thus, by Rule 478's requirement to be unambiguous, I interpret
the entire action as ineffective.

Viewed as a series of nested functions (conditionals) I believe this
votes SELL(2VP) for any LLAMA vote or otherwise LLAMA(PRESENT), and
due to the SELL part includes a max number of votes on Ordinary
