I speculate that some (contrived) interpretations might've become custom
because of a vested interest for it to be so. "I'll win the game just if I
convince enough people that this is the interpretation that we should all
go by!". And with enough time, a contrived interpretation becomes game
custom

Hm. We should probably use different words for registration "intents" and
tabled "intents".
In fact, I think it could be good to keyword things in the ruleset, sort of
like how MTG and plenty of other games do it, like; [Lifesteal] or [Flash].

There's a bit of a discussion on Discord right now, that "intend" (or
synonyms like "plan") have an implication of "doing in future, not
now" in many contexts, which adds to the confusion for registration -
and has specifically called out in the past in terms of "consent now"
versus "consent later"
Suggestion: match more text:
EG "16 ore" to "16 or"

Maybe we could use a metaphor or just something similar and illustrative?

has been Chanting for (...)"
"Chant", "Spellcast" or "Summon"; perhaps. Fantasy-themed things for

First, this was sent to DIS (agora-discussion), so it doesn't work as an
action.
Second, the communication standard for intents is extremely high, so

I don't think that "re-submission" or "editting" intents are a thing but
the language seems to refer to just one single possible outcome, even if
its not worded precisely.
I want this to be good enough to work, but I'm not sure if CfJs are on my
side on this.

The example should be introduced with "for example" not "For example"
(the capitalisation is wrong for mid-sentence). Other than that, it
makes sense.

There's actually two criteria to think about here. One is the
criteria for intent announcements (R1728). but the other is the
criteria for rule change specifications in R105, specifically:
