This seems like another facet of ISIDTID. Which, come to think of it, should really be addressed explicitly by Rule 478, e.g. A public message claiming that one performs a game-defined action is not generally effective, but must be specifically enabled, e.g. by a rule stating that one CAN perform it by announcement. A public message claiming to be a game-defined entity (e.g. a distribution of proposals) is not generally that entity, but must match the circumstances defined for that entity (e.g. being sent by the Promotor).
