Talk about a boring A&S competition.  No, the item would need to 
accompany the documentation.  I don't believe that the competition 
should be based solely on the paperwork, just weighted in favor of 
the paperwork.  The item would be needed.  Not that I know of 
anyone who would be so dishonorable, but this would eliminate 
the possibility of putting together 'drop dead' documentation for an 
item that does not exist.  In addition, we want our artisans to 
wow the populace and gain wordfame with a display of items for the 
attendees to admire.  

stepping up onto my own little soapbox....
I truly believe it is the duty of our populace to support their 
artisans by taking a little time out of their day to admire the works 
of those who take enormous time to try to recreate a piece of 
history.
stepping down from my own little soapbox...
