Actually, it looks one does. Rule 216 says that creating a rule is an 
Action, and r1896 says that any player can perform any Game Action at 
any time.

I think this bug comes from an earlier version of Proposals - once upon 
a time, a proposal was a list of Actions changing the game. 
Unfortunately, I guess we forgot to fix r216 when we redefined 'Action' 
to be 'a thing players can do'.
