I just realised that this is invalid – I failed to replace every
instance of "rule" in the text with "device".

I think the obligation to make the intent still exists (and even if it
doesn't, I can intend even if I can't do), so in order to discharge the
obligation:

I intend, with Agoran Consent, to cause rule 2655 to amend the rule
"The Device" by appending the following as a list item to the "When
the device is on:" list:
{{{
   For the purposes of Devices governing modification of
   instruments, the text, power, ID number, and title of a Device
are
   all substantive aspects of the Device.
}}}

I support the above intent without the email quotation markup and with
"decided" rather than "devised".

I object to the other three intents (that might have email quotation or
that use "devised").

("Devised" is cute, but I doubt "decided" counts as a grammatical
variation of "decision" in this context.)

Huh, so it turns out it's possible to object to your own tabled intent,
and this may be one of the few situations where doing so is actually
useful.

I object to the above-(nested-)quoted intent.

With support from Jason, and no objections, I do so. (I've verified
that Jason has sufficient ribbons to support an intent during a
Festival.)

(I look mildly disapprovingly on all the recent Apathy intents, which
made it a pain to figure out that nobody had objected to this intent in
particular or to all intents in general – there were certainly a lot of
objections to some of the other intents going around, but none of them
affected this one.)

[I think this is my favourite of the suggestions – it could lead to an
interesting CFJ and doesn't create extra work for people. Adding it to
the "device on" list because it seems much safer to create a device
that might be able to turn itself off than it does to create a device
that might be able to turn itself on.]
