La la la. However, what they described in the article was not the crest-
though I suppose it is entirely possible that they could refer to the crest
and describe the device- after all, I have been know to start talking about
a houppelande and refer to the chaperon without making it clear that I'd
passed above the collar...

As to the difference, that comment was Fieldless, a tongue Gules, firmly in
cheek... Suppose you could add an annully if you need a difference... ;-D)
