You can make the intent, but not complete the action.  For example, if
there's a rule change coming up to allow something via tabled action, you
can intend to do that thing before the rule change happens as long as it's
within the 14 day window when the rule changes to allow it.

The way tabled actions are written, at the time you *complete* the task,
you look back to see if there's an intent within the right past time
range, and it works even if it couldn't be performed when the intent was
announced.

Aaand as I write that, I can see at least one place in the Tabled action
rule (not the old dependent action rule) that *could* be argued the other
way, though it's a stretch IMO.
