Well, the existing Decisions could easily be modified to remove the Hybrid
classification (for example), without preventing the rest of the document
from working the way it does.  A (formerly) Hybrid method would still be a
hunt method (or hunter).  The difference is that being a hunt method
doesn't, by itself, lead to a word being inserted into the method's title.

On further thought, I don't think this is what RAS intended for Alliance.
The above would allow a pointy hunt bell path (i.e. 'big dodges' such as
point 6th's, point 4th's), whereas I think RAS only intended hunting or
regular one-place dodges.  The following would correct this (I think), and
also seems better:

*Alliance Method:* A Hunt Method or Differential Hunt Method in which:
1. The Path of the Hunt Bell is the same if it is rung backwards;
2. The Hunt Bell rings either twice or four times in each Place within a
Plain Lead; and
3. The Hunt Bell Makes a Place exactly twice within a Plain Lead
