I'm not altogether sure that it is, actually. R2545 says: An Auction is a way for entities to give away items in exchange for a currency. which, I believe D. Margaux's judgement argues, is equivalent to: Entities CAN give away items in exchange for a currency by Auction. You can agree or disagree with eir interpretation, obviously, but I don't see how it's possible to argue that eir interpretation doesn't provide a mechanism. The mechanism is an "Auction". -twg
