Actually it's easier than that:  if dimension N is variable-size,
and N>1, then it's illegal.

I could add exceptions; for example, all variable-size dimensions
always have $increment = -1.  But I think it's far easier just
to outlaw any query on such a dimension.

I've uploaded a new version of the proposal, proposal-958-2,
with a new clause 19.7.1 added.  The existing proposal-958-1a
is still there, since it's the subject of the vote.
