That way, during build, any sub team can just ask the rule guy if their idea is legal or not.
I am anal about following rules. I don't like grey areas. It's either black or white for me. When I give my NEMO sessions I always recommend that teams find somebody on the team who is like me (and there usually is SOMEONE) and ask them to be the rules guru. They are responsible for bringing the updates to each meeting and announcing them to the team, for creating manual(s) with the rules in them and updating them when necessary. The team is also responsible for knowing the updates, etc., but the rules person REALLY knows the rules and can be the person who can look it up quickly.
