It doesn't make proposal enactment power 2, it makes the definition of
proposals power 2. Each proposal would still be enacted by a power 3
rule so there is no problem here.

Well, that's an arbitrary text that doesn't exist, it's always possible to 
make one of those that breaks things; But I see you mean in that this 
particular text:
 "Except as
prohibited by other rules, a proposal that takes effect CAN, as
part of its effect, apply the changes that it specifies."
should be in R106 not the new power-2 rule (thought it was in one
draft).

It actually doesn't *technically* break, in that R106 sets the proposal's 
power to 3 and then R1688 applies the CAN, but it means the quoted part of
the rule above is useless at power-2.  Not broken, but not useful.  Fair
enough.

A rule that says "except as allowed by rules with power 3 or greater" 
would cause a breakage here.

Er, is there any actual reason it would break the game?  Walker and I came to
the conclusion that it didn't (during the proto stage) so I'd appreciate more
than a knee-jerk "oh this might be broken" from schunt.  -G.
