Brilliant. What a beautiful proposal.
Here's one possible (and unexpected) way to resolve its effect: Under Rule
2429 (Bleach), we can replace any amount of whitespace with another amount
of whitespace (apart from paragraph breaks). By that rule, we can restyle
the proposal as set forth below.
When restyled in this manner, the first paragraph basically becomes
gibberish that is impossible to parse (and therefore has no effect?). Then
under the paragraphs that follow, everyone wins the game.
