Technically, the 'Create a rule' clauses are unneccessary - we have a rule
somewhere that states that if the proposal is nothing but what appears to be
the text of a rule, then it creates a rule with the proposal's title as the
rule's title.

The part that really made these three confusing was that A) The standard
delimiters for proposals are double curly brackets, {{like this}}, not
single ones { like this }, and B) they're technically supposed to be used
only to delimit the texts of rules/proposals/CFI's/etc., not to delimit each
individual action of a proposal. Fortunately, the rules defining delimiters
are flexible enough to allow these things to pass smoothly, but it would be
helpful from the point of view of a human trying to read these to use the
official delimiters.
