I feel that this is too nearly a complete workaround for entropy.  And if
the abbreviations are unclear it could actually change the interpretation
of the rule.  But I would be happy if we make it work in conjunction with
a list of standard abbreviations.  Perhaps any player could add a word to
or remove a word from the standard abbrev. list provided that there are no
objections within 3 ndays.

I suggest you destroy the gremlins as well as repealing the rules.  We
already have precedent for unlegislated objects.
