No, just the rules. I generally read public lists first (oldest-first) before 
reading a-d (newest-first).

It’s not clear to me that the suggested ambiguity is sufficient to render a 
fixed asset transferrable, though. Maybe I’m dense, but the relevant clauses

and

combine fairly clearly.

If the correct interpretation of Assets turns out to be "only a contract can be 
a backing document", then Pledges have not been defined to exist (and therefore 
likely _don’t_ exist) since the Contracts v8 proposal passed. In that case, 
they still can’t be transferred meaningfully, since they’re an unregulated bit 
of ephemera rather than true game state. As of the adoption of that proposal, 
all pledges effectively ceased to exist, and no meaningful pledges can be 
created, since all of the meaningful actions in r. 2450 are in terms of Asset 
actions.

What am I missing?
