But if this can be done over/outside precedence claims, wouldn't it mean that any (power-1) rule could do anything at all by saying "It doesn't actually do X, but causes the effects to to occur as if X happened." Increasing the power to 3.1 would fix, so would a simple "this rule claims precedence..." claim. -G.
