Remove glossary entry 3.1 (“Italicized text is not considered part of the ruleset…”).

[ This is being used for scams and is inadvertently spoiling proposals, more than it’s actually useful, I think.

I’ve struggled to come up with a better, unscammable wording, but I don’t think there is one - wherever the line between “rule” and “example text” is drawn, it’s possible to compose paragraphs that deliberately look like they’re on one side but are actually on the other. So maybe we shouldn’t have a line. ]

against Italicized text also serves to clarify normal text without putting unsound text directly into the Ruleset.  I wouldn’t worry about italicized text because someone would probably catch any scam before it caused a problem.

I’ve just enacted “Time Crystals”, and realise that it’s unusably, unintentionally broken due to its italics…
