Potentially radical idea (but only once we've got started with Cards, don't
want two major reforms at once!): replace all the contract/promise/pledgy

place SHALL requirements. Then define promises, pledges, regular contracts,
etc. in using the new contract-like thing.
(Possibly for the far future: make the economy work like that, too. The issue
here is in tying the economy back to things like proposals and voting power
(including Blot penalties) and wins.)
I want to go on record as saying that I prefer to have things in the
ruleset. I don't have the energy for a real argument for it right now
though.

I generally agree with Aris. I think it's situational. Stuff like this
arbitration contract belongs in contracts, but stuff like Cards belongs
in the ruleset. In my opinion, at least.
