If you swapped a random coat on that page with a random coat on the
most recent ILoI I saw, the ILoI would have been improved

I *like* "an X between two Ys".  The two "per pale T and U" I could do
without.  He wasn't afraid to use vair, ermine, or goutty (and the
last two appear on the same coat on that page).
