Heh.  Yeah, there's lots of stuff like that.  That's part of the reason I 
keep making passes throught the whole thing, bringing stuff up to date.  The 
other part of the reason, if anyone cares, is I keep thinking of ways to 
make it better, and I have to go through it all again to make sure 
everything is ok with the changes.

When I finally propose it, I'll make provisions so other props on the ballot 
that nweek don't cause havoc with the way they are written.  As for the 
future, putting props in uber-compliant form should be simple wording 
changes.

I had considered writing up the entire ruleset as it would appear after the 
changes, both for easy reading and for you to use, but I realized that 
probably wouldn't work too well with your scripts and database.  As for 
implementing the changes, I'll help if you want me to, and you tell me the 
details of your database system.
