This version doesn't need the exception, but upon further reflection, it
should be guarded against breaking if the "what force does comment text
have?" clause is changed.

This, however, is a good catch.  I revise the proposal in question
to read as follows:

Create a rule titled "Comments" with this text:  {

Except for this sentence, rule text appearing between [[ and the next ]]
within the same rule, or between /* and the next */ within the same
rule, is comment text.

Comment text is generally used to give examples and/or expectations, and
loses precedence if it conflicts with non-comment rule text [[ e.g. the
rules have changed such that an example is no longer accurate ]], but
otherwise has the force of rule.
