Please be very specific on the following: If other rules (or contracts) forbid certain transfers, are the NoTs "valid" (transfer happens but breaks a rule) or "invalid" (transfers never happens). Comparing between 2001-era currencies (pragmatic: it happens) and 2005-era cards (platonic: it never happened), both are messy in their own way, but pragmatic is much less messy as it requires less rewinding of the game state. I'd suggest a second sentence after the above: "This Rule sets all requirements for a NoT to be considered valid; if a specific transfer or NoT would break other rules, that transfer is still valid (but possibly illegal). This rule takes precedence over rules governing transfers." -Goethe
