Right.  It should say that it counts "final votes".  I haven't changed
the part of 2-2 that defines final votes, of course.

I hadn't looked at it like that.  I'll reword it.

Is that an argument in favour of certain rules being more difficult to
change?  ::grin::

Yah, right "precedence".  Will do.

We don't have a definition of a rule change, do we?  A rule change can
affect anything about a rule.  (Unless another rule says otherwise.)
But since I'm already amending...

(BTW Peter, I'm assuming that your arguments are correct and that this
proposal is somewhat redundant.  But a proposal seemed the logical
full stop to our earlier discussion.)
