Galen, 

Pardon me for copying your entire post, but it is relevant.  I read the
outlands law differently than you.  If the prospective Sovereign
abdicates, the list  is refought, if the prospective Consort abdicates,
the Sovereign picks a new Consort.  So, in your example, when Sir Jeff ,
now HRH Jeff, abdicated, a new Crown list would be called.  Or am I
reading incorrectly?
