No worries, as long as the overall design is clear.
An Alisoun precedent from 1988 is
We do not use single diminutives and so this [single tressure] has
to be an orle. (LoAR Jun 88, p. 20)
(That's except for a tressure placed on a bordure or orle: Bruce had a
precedent for that.)
Oddly, four designs with "a tressure" or "single tressure" were
registered in the 1990s. I think they were oversights.
If you have a consecutive sequence of charges all of the same
tincture, you only have to specify the tincture after the last.
Which is to say: if you see a charge without a tincture listed,
its tincture is the following tincture listed.
The default position for a lion is "rampant".
So with all that:
Argent, a lion within an orle azure.
Sweet zombie Jesus! I don't see a conflict (through the March 2005
LoARs)! (And if there's a conflict between April-October, it doesn't
have the word "orle" in it.) This is great period-style armory and
I hope you can jump on it ASAP.
