OK, I've got a client who wants a sort of grid-pattern on his arms.
I talked to a slew of folks who came up blank, except one person gave
me the term "grillage". Since then, I've found it in:
The PicDic 2nd Edition
Precedents of Da'ud
http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/precedents/daud2/armm2q.html
One item registered in 1994 and reblazoned in 1999
http://oanda.sca.org/oanda_bp.cgi?p=grillage&c=case-insensitive&l=25&s=name+only&d=modern&g=enabled&a=disabled
The website of said canton still exists and still uses those arms

Woodward's Treatise on Heraldry
http://books.google.com/books?id=38psAAAAMAAJ&pg=RA1-PA98&lpg=RA1-PA98&dq=grillage+heraldry&source=bl&ots=9mT5jK7QCe&sig=Zlb5YV-GKRW_gqau8UoOinHxHaI&hl=en&ei=INCXSab4E4nKtQPZtt2QAQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=3&ct=result
Is this screwball field treatment still registerable? I don't want to
tell him "go ahead, there's precedent for it" if it's going to get
shot down in flames.
