Attempted earlier, I now undertake a second "Identify Prose Rule"
challenge.

Deem it obvious, puzzler? Praise deserved... if you supply a clear
indication of understanding that demonstrates irrefutably your success
at deciphering this obscure rule.

Mark, when I foul up an entry, I hope puzzlers and setters will not run
around every single block just laughing, weeping with joy, until a
better, simple solution truly can be given.

Sad report: Tim, you've blundered. (Accidentally, methinks...)

Attention Ed. In those clues
mark the first vowels used,
and then find constraining rule.

Bah! Earlier I only used an elegant bit of punctuation. Can't break
insipid vowel rule absent letters, viz. words.
