[MR] heraldry stuff

Arrrrrrgh. The consulting herald should have known better.

If you're looking to register armory, what you put on the form should be 
in a fairly straightforward style to minimize the chances of the 
submission getting returned for problems with the drawing. *AFTER* the 
armory is registered, you are free to use whatever style you like in 
putting the emblazon on your banner, tabard, beer mug, et cetera, as long 
as it's not likely to be mistaken for someone else's armory.

I thought I'd told you that before, Landi... though I admit it's been a 
while (like, several years) since we discussed it.
