Just to add, the reason we read it that way is because that's how the dependent action rules are written. They're retrospective; if X and Y has happened, a player can do Z by announcement. The doing Z is actually taking the action - the business about announcing intent is just a precondition. This means you can, for instance, announce intent for actions that don't exist yet (for instance, because the proposal to create the rule that allows for the action hasn't been resolved yet), in the hope that your announcement will later allow you to take an action once the relevant rule has come into existence.
