We are, I believe, in basic agreement.  The problem arises from the inference of a
_direct association_ with the Corporation.  In my opinion, as long as the document
makes the fighter group answerable to the baronies (as they are) and the baronies
answerable to the Corporation (as they are), there shouldn't be a problem from the
Society's stand point (but see Adela's email).
