I’m not convinced r. 106 is the right angle for this. Instead, I’m tempted to 
look at game tradition. We’ve got a long history of commentary and 
non-normative guidance in proposals, and I see no obvious reason in the rules 
that that commentary cannot be set off with punctuation for clarity’s sake. I’m 
initially inclined to judge it TRUE.

However, I’ll leave this up for a few days and do some more research before 
rendering judgement.

I'm sure that there have been other Arbitors before and I'm very happy to
have G as it now, but it just feels weird to me to have not-ais do it lol.
I dunno why. Habit? Oh well.
