I always thought the rules for heraldry were pretty straightforward - while
naming practices could be pretty vague and complex, making it very easy to
trip up what looks like a fairly straight forward process. Don't do metal
on metal is easy, and clearly spelled out, but where does it tell you that -
say- Shimazu Ryobe is -possible- as a name for my 15th century
merchant-wanderer, but it's implausible :)
