As it stands now, any Crown can give carte blanche to the Coronet to give
AoA, and there is no rule which prevents knights from swearing fealty to a
Coronet. Remember that a Principality bacically *belongs* ultimately to the
Kingdom and Crown, and any fealty rendered to a Coronet would be secondary
to the fealty rendered a Crown. For example, I require fealty from my
apprentices and proteges, and consider myself to be always in fealty to the
Crown and Kingdom, but that in no way precludes any fealty they might swear
to the Crown and Kingdom.

I guess I just don't see the logic here. It's no more difficult for a
region to remain a principality for a long time than for a region to remain
a kingdom for a long time. I think Mists and Cynagua pretty clearly prove
that.

Not that I have anything against the suggestions you alude to--I don't
think you've mentioned anything here that sounds unreasonable or
controversial. I'd like to see a copy of your letter, it sounds interesting.

There *is* a section addressing the appropriateness and desireability of
coffee and chocolate, of course? ;->
