Rules probably ought to have names, but I'm happy for this one to go in as 
is and be assigned a name later if/when it becomes official that rules must 
have names. I suggest also that at some point there should be a rule 
allowing for the correction of unambiguous typos or spelling mistakes in 
the rules.

I consent (unambiguously, I hope!) for this change to take place, both in 
the form it is presented here and in any other form which has an identical 
effect on the game but differs in nomenclature or spelling.
