If it's just a Game Document rather than a Rule, why not make it just a 
Game Document? Say that every section of every rulebook has a Game 
Document associated with it called its "Comments" or "Notes" or some 
such thing, and that any player may modify it at any time but it has no 
direct impact on the game.

Or we could just do this informally - the rules don't forbid us to add 
a little "Comments" box at the end of each section for this sort of 
thing, so we could just set it up without needing to mention it in the 
rules. Although I agree that it might be nice to have it mentioned just 
for completeness.

As for Tic-Tac-Tiles, I personally will probably not propose any such 
thing. I think one of the problems we had prior to the game reset was 
that some parts of the rules became "owned" by certain players, not 
because those players claimed them in any way but just because they'd 
written enough of it that other players were hesitant to add their own 
material when it might interrupt the 'grand design' of the subgame's 
creator. So I'm sincerely hoping that other players will start propping 
all sorts of interesting game mechanics.
