Is there an explicit definition of spend/to spend (for assets) in the ruleset that I'm missing? I know there's one specific to AP but that's a special mechanism. (I don't think it's a current-rules issue if it's undefined, because common definitions + definition of close-enough synonym "pay"

The main issue I have with your judgement is not the trust tokens, it's this very clear statement at the end of the rule paragraph: "If the option cannot be clearly identified, a vote of PRESENT is cast." This clause is independent of the timing clauses earlier in the paragraph, and by Rule 2240
