If I may expand on a few of Maria Asterisk's remarks?

We do that because Laurel would bounce it for lacking a translation --
there's a long-standing precedent on the subject.

"Proof" being real-world proof, like a photocopy of a driver's licence
(perahsp with sensitive information blacked out).  For example, if
it's consult table without a photocopier, they've also accepted a
written signed statement from the consulting herald that he's seen ID
and the name listed there was <insert complete name in the exact form
as listed>.  E.g, my driver's licence has MCDANIEL, TIMOTHY A, so
that's what should be listed on such a statement -- NOTE the
uppercase, and lack of punctuation or accents except for the comma.

That is, the pertinent information so that someone with ONLY YOUR
summary can use YOUR summary to comment on or support the name.  E.g.,
     de Barre: S. Gabriel report 666 (<URL here>) shows Francois de
     Barre in a Burgundian court case in 1566 (<their biblio citation>)

There can be fading and darkening, but more worrisome is that they can
shift -- for example, there's been a case of a charge being blue going
into the mail and purple coming out.

For the same reason, don't use a color copier.
