Executive Tidiness exists to let us repair errors, whether they're made 
by normal players or by Ministers. I see no difference between adding 
the text that should have been put in nweeks ago, and, for example, 
adding the missing W to 'aterspouts' some time after the rule was 
created. Would you claim that if enough time had elapsed, the Statute 
of Limitations would force the rule to talk about "aterspouts"?
