spoon-business: An even more ambitious method of formatting proposals

[Rob Speer <rob@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I submit the following proposal:

<proposal title="Standard Delimiters">

Create the following rule:            [[ look at all the boilerplate! ]]
<rule title="Standard Delimiters">

The character sequences '{{' and '}}' (without the single quotes) serve
to delimit a proposal or a rule; in any Action where they appear, they
are considered to mark the beginning and end, respectively, of a
proposal or rule. The message in which they appear should specify which.
If the action being performed is to "Propose a Rule" according to the
"Elimination of Boilerplate" proposal, they delimit both simultaneously.
If there are more '{{' than '}}' in a proposal, the end of the Forum
message serves to end the proposal or rule; if there are more '}}' than
'{{', the extra closing delimiters are ignored.

The character sequence '__' (again without the single quotes) delimits
the title of a Rule or Proposal; the title begins after the first '__'
and ends after the second '__'. The title is applied to whatever Rule or
Proposal has most recently been introduced in the text of the message.

[[ The next message will contain an example of how this proposal would
look with the delimiters and the Boilerplate rule. ]]

</rule>
</proposal>
