Remember when I said that I thought Weather Gnomes might be hell on the
admin? I was wrong. Next to Insta-rules, Weather Gnomes look like rules that
say "The admin need not do anything".

What you're asking for here is for the admin to be constantly rewriting not
only the proposal page, but now the Ruleset page as well.

Perhaps I'm overreacting, but I strongly suspect that this would be bad.
