[Bards] the Rules-well sort of.

[Susan Tillery]

My initial reaction is simply a comment on wording.  Since it will not be a binding document, instead of standards could we call it, "Words of Wisdom" or "Advice to a Young Bard" or even "lessons learned"?  For some reason "standards" sets alarm bells ringing in my somewhat fuddled brain.

What if, just maybe, we assembled a written document that lays out the 
standards a bard should adhere to? I'm not talking about a binding 
document with penalties, but a code of expected conduct as applied to 
bards.

  Again, I'm not talking about any legally binding document, but rather a 
collection of written statements reflecting the lessons learned by us, 
so we can generate a basic measure against which others can compare 
their decisions. A consensus document containing the lowest common 
denominators, so to speak, of bardic etiquette.

Their is nothing saying that it is binding, or even static, we are more 
than capable of updating it as time passes and the kingdom changes. But 
as it stands right now, the best way to learn these lessons is from 
other bards, and that in and of itself can be a limiting factor for people.
