Couple things:
- The "if the Auctioneer CAN and MAY do so" might not work with Agora, because
I don't know where it says that Agora CAN make the transfer?
- Since the Zombie Auction is a special case that redefines "transfer" as a
switch flip, you'd have to modify the last paragraph of R1885 to match
whatever you came up with here.
