Let's give this a shot.
I would like to enter the argument that giving a definition of "the recordkeepor of a class of assets" is more like defining what "the king of a country" is w.r.t. that country, than defining what the King of Spain is. Your argument is something like saying that since we only defined what foo(int x) does, you are free to interpret the entity "foo" to mean the separate, hitherto by rules undefined function foo(char c). If one accepts this, then the word "recordkeepor" is a rules-defined term: it has that specific meaning, which requires there to be an associated class of assets in order to make sense. I wouldn't say "absolutely everything" sufficiently describes a class of entities which are defined by that pledge of yours and exist solely because of it. A pledge might not even strong enough to be the backing document; I wouldn't know since I'm not very up-to-date on the rules but your last paragraph seems to suggest this. Apologies for butting in from outside! I happened to open my "forums" tab with its untold unread Agoran messages, saw an angle and couldn't resist. Best regards, ~Tiger Agoran player circa 2010
