In other words, about the size of my MBA diploma. I could live with
that.

Of course, there is nothing to require us to adopt either the size
(which ranged from postcard size to about the size of a hand towel) or
the artistic sensibilities of period charters -- period grants of arms,
for example, were fancy enough to satisfy all but the most ornatophilic
of SCA folk. It all depends on what analogy we draw with our period
models. Right now we use period charters, which I think the most
appropriate analogical model. Other positions are certainly
sustainable.
