Let me specify the fine print for a goal

When I create a goal, I'd like to be able to specify the details of what counts and what doesn't. The standard Beeminder Contract includes a "fine print" section, but there is nowhere to actually specify that fine print.

When creating the goal, I know what I want the fine print to be. Three months from now, when I will be tempted to weasel, it would be good to have a place which reminds me the rules I set for myself

    Yes please! I've been using the "goal statement" for this, but the text box is too small. I allow myself to change the rules, but the changes don't go into effect until a week after I make them.

    I have a "go to the gym 3 times a week goal," and there were some edge cases I didn't anticipate when I initially created it. For example: does a yoga class count as "going to the gym?" Can I fail if I'm too sick to go to the gym? I've refined the rules as new things come up, and it would be great if the UI facilitated this.
