[[How about requiring a keyword for all rules devoted soley to one subgame?]]

I replace my as-yet-unrecognized prop __More is less__ with:
{{
__More is less__

Replace rule 1592 with:
{{
All rules devoted soley to one subgame (that is, where only that subgame would 
be directly affected by its repeal) must have as a keyword the name of the 
subgame.
}}
}}
