[ANSTHRLD] [Fwd: Heraldry announcement for Commentary

[kevinkeary at aol.com]

Items 1 and 2 in my suggestion were to allay fears we would be stepping 
on toes we had no intention of annoying.

Item 4 was in support of Mistress Sara's statements. I agree with her 
arguments and feelings about the immediate identification of a branch's 
arms and the inherent worth of Society culture and precedent. For all 
that I'm annoyed at the net result in my own barony's arms of this 
requirement and the strict adherence to Laurel precedent in applying 
the Rule of Tinctures to overall charges.

My apologies, I assumed those things would be understood.

Leaving aside the merits of the original proposals ...

That is beyond all question. For decades, Corpora has grandfathered 
existing arms. See <http://sca.org/docs/govdocs.pdf>. Corpora, page 
16, Corpora VI.C.3.b:

That has not been questioned at this time, or indeed for years. 
(The last change was to allow coronets for landless baron/esses. 
Previously, it had been reserved to principalities, kingdoms, and the 
ranks of duke/duchess, earl/countess, viscount/ess. I think that was 
in the late 1990s.)

Please give your reasons.
