<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>In the new letter that just got posted I saw this in the
returns section:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><B></B> </DIV>
<DIV><B>Tir Rígh, Principality of.</B> Order name Order of the Silver Sparkes.

<P>This is returned for conflict with Drachenwald's heraldic title
<I>Silversparre Herald</I>. The commenters were agreed that there is
insignificant difference in sound and appearance between these two names. </P>
<P>While the submitters provided a letter from the King and Queen of Drachenwald
permitting this order name to conflict with <I>Silversparre Herald</I>, this is
one of the rare cases where the letter of permission to conflict is not
sufficient to allow the order name to be registered. Current practices allows
someone owning Order of the X to use X Herald or X Pursuivant (v. Order of the
Caltrop, LoAR 10/1999, R-Ćthelmearc). The heraldic title <I>Silver Sparkes
Herald</I> also conflicts with <I>Silversparre Herald</I>, and as permission to
conflict was not received for that title, it was returned elsewhere on this
LoAR. We cannot register <I>Order of the Silver Sparkes</I> to the kingdom since
this would allow them to use the corresponding heraldic title, with which they
do not have permission to conflict. </P>
<P><B>Tir Rígh, Principality of.</B> Heraldic title Silver Sparkes Herald. </P>
<P>This is returned for conflict with Drachenwald's heraldic title
<I>Silversparre Herald</I>. The commenters were agreed that there is
insignificant difference in sound and appearance between these two titles. </P>

<P><FONT face=Calibri>I'm afraid that I didn't quite understand why permission
to conflict isn't permission to conflict in this case. That, and I thought
it would be neat for us to start discussing things on this list <IMG
