Although it's kind of arbitrary either way, that might create problems, 
since we'd have various orders, movements, and so forth being enacted at 
the beginning of an nweek rather than the end.  We might also at some point 
run into problems with the gamestate being changed after some proposals for 
the nweek have been made, but before others.  Or it might not affect 
anything.  The simplest solution might be to vote in a rule making 
proposals during the voting period invalid.
