Where the rules define an action that a person CAN perform "by

that action by performing it by announcement while, in the same

I think this needs at least a write-up for the second half of the
process, e.g.
Where the rules define an action (the Pitch) that a person CAN
perform "by fulfillment" to a particular kind of document, that
person performs that action by performing it by announcement
while, in the same message, also publishing a document of that
kind, specifying an action (the Wind-Up) that e previously
performed by commitment to that kind of document, and specifying
enough information to verify that the Wind-Up's Fingerprint
corresponds to the Pitch's document. The Wind-Up is thereby
fulfilled. A person CANNOT perform a Pitch by specifying a Wind-Up
that was previously fulfilled.
