Since, in the SCA, "squire" is not a rank nor an award, but rather a type of
household relationship between one flavor of peers and their students, I
think it would be goofy to somehow routinely denote this non-rank in one's
achievement (oh, gack! can you see the apprentices and proteges painting the
insides of *theirs* green and gold?) The color-coded, completely unofficial
colored belt scheme is bad enough as is without further ramification.
