Corpora specifies the registered items are protected "unless the owner 
request its release" and "without regard ... to the membership status of the 
owner".  That's the root of the policy: Corpora not the Rules for Submission 
(which must comply with Corpora).

Here's the full reference from Corpora:

C.3.b. Any item once registered shall remain registered unless the owner 
requests its release, and shall be accepted in the Society for the person for 
whom it was registered without regard to changes in the rules and standards 
applied to future submissions, or to the membership status of the owner.

Given this limitation, the best anyone can do is go on a "Heraldic Will 
drive" and try to get people to fill out and submit heraldic wills.  If we 
make it easy on the local level, and they know it's free, maybe more folks 
will submit one.
