It is ambiguous as Official Documents are not defined by the rules but I believe a proposal would count as an Official Document. I stand by my judgement, both because "Official Document" is indeed undefined, and because Rule 8 does not clearly nullify comment text within proposals (at least "shall not have the force of Rule" is moot, as proposals don't have the force of Rule anyway). In fact, in the specific case of proposals to create or amend a rule such that it includes comment text, Rule 8 *should not* nullify that text within the context of the proposal's effects if adopted. Oh, and Rule 8 is also potentially subject to the old "unmatched delimiter -> large chunk of the ruleset commented out" bug, so whoever proposes a fix to the above issues should clear that up as well while they're at it. _______________________________________________ spoon-discuss mailing list spoon-discuss@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/spoon-discuss
