Well...whaddaya think of this:

http://www.nomic.net/~dwhytock/instarule.html

It's a tad crude, but I think it ensures a syntax-legal insta-rule.  Is it lynx-friendly?

BTW...has anyone ever tried a MUD/MUSH with Nomic?  It's telnet-based, and therefore line-oriented, and therefore compatible with any machine that can run telnet at all.  Plus, there are special-purpose clients for such things.  MUSHes, at least, are codable, which means an interface could be built out of them, and it could provide means for chat areas.
