Subrules are undefined!?!

As part of the Rule “Keywords” insert between

Subject
The “subject” of a blog entry is the part of the Title of an entry which is after the first colon. If the Title does not contain a colon, then the whole Title is the subject. Any entry whose subject is “” (i.e. an empty string) is not valid.

and

Votable Matter
The word “Votable Matter”, means a Proposal, a CFJ or a DoV.

the following:

Subrule
A Subrule X of Rule Y is a Rule that is also part of Rule Y. A Subrule X uses a heading of one level higher than the corresponding Rule Y in the ruleset.

I was shocked when I realized that the Rule “Species” was a mix of Subrules and ammendments of it, which cannot be distinguished. Thus, with this definition of “Subrules” (which I was even more shocked to not find) any Rule that is part of another Rule and denoted in the Ruleset with one extra heading-level is a Subrule.

I believe this is comaptible with all (or at least most) usages of “Subrule” I encountered so far. But better check.
