And to think that Glotmorf has been the biggest objector to my uber-prop, 
and here he writes a prop for one of the parts he objected against.

I skimmed it, and in and of itself it appears fine, but regulating 
interaction will be a PITA.  Especially when we start having large amounts 
of both new and old objects, and there's all sorts of interactions between 
them.  Different rules were written at different times for different 
rulesets, and that leads to the incompatibility that makes any kind of new 
thing, like a can of whoopass affecting affecting all objects correctly, or 
a new grid item being properly destructed by a reset, properly recycleable, 
and so forth; it leads lots of rules listing lots of specific cases.  And 
having two seperate groups of objects, each with a different set of rules 
governing them, will make this complication worse.

It's a nice idea, but I don't think it'll work out too well.
