That's an interesting argument. It leads to the conclusion that R129 doesn't do anything - legal actions are made legal, and illegal actions can still be CFJed after 1 nweek, as they never happened.

You know, it feels like you should be able to generate a paradox out of that. ;-)

It's not how I thought r129 was broken, but I'm not at all sure it's an improvement.
