Ah, an interesting case!  My immediate reaction is that nonmember-moderation
should do exactly what you suggest: test for both membership and
nonmembership.  If it's both, then return False as if the action were
Action.defer.  This should allow the member-moderation rule to take
precedence.

Can you think of a reason *not* to do this?
