Wonko has amended p1996.

---------------------------------
Proposal 1996/1: Decrufting the rules.
A Standard Proposal by Wonko
Last modified on nweek 78, nday 5

Repeal rule 497.

[[
r497 is the one that says Rules can have subsections. I think it's perfectly obvious that rules can have subsections, which makes this rule completely superfluous. Moreover, it actually restricts what we can do by, for example, forbidding incomplete sentences in subsections, which arguably invalidates some rules, such as r15, that contain incomplete sentences ('An absolute point in ntime, such as "nweek 212, nday 6" ' is an element of a bulleted list in a subsection of r15).
]]

In rule 33, replace
{{
Whenever one section of a rule conflicts with another section of the same rule, the section which appears later in the rule takes precedence over the earlier section; however, if a subsection of a subsection of a rule conflicts with the subsection it is nested within, the higher-level subsection takes precedence.

If sentences that have identical sets of containing sections and subsections conflict so that they may not be followed, the one appearing later in the rule must be followed if any of them are followed. If because of this Rule a sentence may not be followed without contradiction, that sentence has no effect on the gamestate.
}}

with 
{{
Whenever one part of a rule conflicts with another part of the same rule, the text which appears later in the rule takes precedence over the earlier text.
}}

but only if this proposal recieved enough votes to legally do so (under the last clause of r33 3/4 of all players are required to vote).
