You're right.  I think it should be required too.  I would also include in the rulle that the minimum flat surface on the head should be a 1" diameter circle.  The Trimarian heads that were rounded almost to a dome were lethal.  If I didn't think it was a good idea I wouldn't have included it in the instructions at all.  I also think that I will talk to whoever might be kingdom archery marshal next year about using the same basic rulle they use for thrusting tips.  If you can feel the edge of the rattan (or in this case UHMW) it fails.
