I disagree—just because a proposal provides the text of a document doesn’t mean 
that the document is part of the proposal and is evaluated when the proposal 
gains power. For instance, when a proposal creates a rule, the text of the rule 
doesn’t gain power as part of the proposal (the proposal does use its power to 
grant the rule power, which is the same thing I do). That being said, I’ll 
adjust the wording to be more clear in my next iteration.
