Thank you, this is a good idea.  The advance reference to withdrawal is
exactly why I didn't do that originally, but on further reflection I think
it's fine.  I now have as A.1.7:

7. The default option has no proposer or sponsors, and cannot be amended
   or withdrawn.

and dropped the point that was A.2.4.
