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.

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:

requests its release, and shall be accepted in the Society for the

rules and standards applied to future submissions, or to the

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.
