I really like the content of the additional rules. I would only clarify one thing in Rule 7. Here is my rendition (with the main change in boldface and rewording in italics): "If concepts from a story or series originally unrelated to Doctor Who appear in a Doctor Who story, it does not imply the validity of the whole story or series the concepts originate from."

Secondly, rules 5-7 are not directly related to Rule 4. Rule 4 is about stories intended to be out. Rules 5-6 are about stories whose creators don't care/say whether it is in or out. Rule 7 is about merging of big franchises, in which case the crossover is usually intended to be in.

So I'm all for this refinement of the rules.
