I've been trying to figure out wording for non-fungible assets and failing.
(or at least failing to do both fungible and non-fungible in the same
paragraph while keeping it concise).

How about:
To perform a fee-based action, an entity (the Actor) who is
otherwise permitted to perform the action must announce that e
is performing the action; the announcement must specify the
correct amount and currency of the fee and indicate intent
to pay that fee for the sole purpose of performing the action.
I think "I pay 5 coins to do X" indicates intent to pay the fee as per that
wording?
Also, I'm going to remove "paid" as a synonym for "transfer". It really
isn't a synonym, and that's been hanging us up a bit. (all the primary and
secondary definitions of "pay" that I can find say that "pay" means to
give something in return for something).
