I don't understand this. RO6 requires all rules to obey their own
restrictions.

Of course, sometimes a restriction may happen not to apply to a certain rule
("all future rules", "all odd numbered rules" etc.). I would call that still
obeying the restriction. But even if you want to call that not having a
restriction to obey, 178:2 then only requires rules not to restrict
themselves, rather than to requiring them to disobey any restrictions they
are placing on other rules.

I hope that's clear!
