Well, then you have to define "such explanatory text", and describe how 
the Poetic forms behave with respect to things like multiple rules in 
props.

You can't just say 'text outside {{}} is explanatory', because in many 
props it's the important part ("repeal rule 5", "set all scores to 0", 
and "If proposal XXXX passed, then do this: ", for example).

I kind of like having the whole prop be in the given form; it makes it 
more challenging to write them.

Perhaps the bonuses could be increased if the whole prop conforms, with 
a lesser bonus given if every {{}}-delimited section conforms?
