Based on the preponderance of publications over the past few years,
I argue that messages of this general form:
"I retract proposal <name>.
Proposal: <similar name>
<text similar to that of the retracted proposal>"
constitutes a clear indication that the stuff after the retraction
I don't see how
``Proposal: Foo
<text>''
gives a clear indication of any intent whatsoever. It's essentially a
large noun phrase. I've seen protoproposals posted this way before.
I've never been Promotor, or whatever we're calling that office these
days, but if I were, I would never consider a message of this form to
be the submission of a proposal. You can take this as a policy
statement, if you like.
