Rule 2:
  * Restrictions on character set and length, both of which "Respected
      One" satisfies.
  * All game entities must have unique names, but it doesn't
      prevent them from having additional non-unique names; in
      particular, Rule 60 explicitly describes titles as names
      assigned to players.  Phrases such as "a player's name"
      can reasonably be interpreted as "eir unique name".
  * A player changing eir name to "Respected One" as permitted by
      Rule 47 is explicitly distinguished from players granted the
      title "Respected One" due to Rule 49(B4).

Rule 47:
  * Prohibition is limited to entities defined by "current proposals",
    which I interpret as "proposals currently being voted on".  There
    are currently no such proposals, so it's irrelevant.

No other rule appears to be relevant.  No rule prohibits such a
change, therefore Rule 47 permits it.  FALSE.
