When props refer to a subsection of a rule, they always say "section 
D.5.3 of rule XXX". That very unambiguously refers to the subsection 
labeled "D.5.3" of rule "XXX", whether a rule describes them or not.

As for Rule 33, I'll add that to the prop, since it's also ugly.

Although I'll probably fail to change r33 on the grounds that r33 is 
very, very hard to modify these days (it requires a 3/4 vote of all 
players, which means that at least 12 players have to vote for it in 
order to pass. Since we only seem to have about 5 active players at the 
moment, this is all but impossible.
