Could someone other than me please propose this?

Add to the “Rules and Proposals” section of the Appendix:

The titles of rules are not themselves rule text and have no effect other than being rule titles.

There is currently a rule entitled “The Time Buddha is Not a Time Monk.”

Should probably clarify that you can have rules that trigger on rule titles; we do those quite often, even though we don’t treat the titles as text to be followed.

Is my version (which just calls them “names”) really any better? It’s not saying they don’t exist, just that they’re only titles/names, and not rule text.
