[ANSTHRLD] Conflict question - Septfoil?

[Bob Wade]

I haven't taken the time to do a precedent search, but suspect the mullet lack of difference for points was because mullets in German heraldry usually had six while those in English heraldry usually had five.

The comparable reference in SENA is http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/sena.html#A5G5  In contrast to the mullet reference Palimpest previously noted (Explicitly mentioned in the example http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/sena.html#A5G1e), there's now a DC for change of number between 6+ and anything 5 or less.

At risk of over-repeating myself, I would note that I made the mullet
reference because we previously gave difference for having different
numbers of points on a mullet (in the same numberings as the RfS used
for CDs for numbers), and we no longer do so.  Thus, if we decided to
stop giving difference for numbers of petals using the same numberings
as SENA uses for DCs, I would be unsurprised.  I don't know how
commentary on that would go, but it's a question worth bringing up in
commentary.
