If we continue wording proposals like we normally do, each of them will take effect continuously. What you probably want is for proposals to implicitly take effect only at the moment they're adopted. Or still better, take a leaf out of PerlNomic's book, and have a rule make the change, following instructions in the proposal. -- ais523
