Well, boilerplate or no, the fact that you'd said, "I propose a rule" should have indicated that that and the rule that contained a rule were the contents of a proposal.  It would have been better if you'd put {{ and }} around the whole thing, but, failing that, it should have been clear.  Therefore the proposal list should have shown one named entity enclosed in {{ and }} that contained another named entity enclosed in {{ and }}.
