Similarly the demiannulet is issuing to the sinister also from the center point so that it is conjoined to the demistar. The laurel wreath overall in base removes the appearance of dimidiated arms.</div>

Wouldn't dimidiation be treated the same (for all intents and<br>
purposes) as marshalling? It was an earlier form of the practise,<br>
after all.<br>

<br>
Consider, for example:<br>
<a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7432/8956996946_6a5ca61902_o.jpg" target="_blank">http://farm8.staticflickr.com/<u></u>7432/8956996946_6a5ca61902_o.<u></u>jpg</a><br>
<br>
That could not be impaled, but it could be dimidiated. Now consider<br>
SENA A.6.F.1.c and A.6.F.3.c. These say that having a charge or<br>
charges straddle the palar line removes the appearance of marshalling.<br>
<br>
This looks like dimidiation is being ignored, but I wonder if that's<br>
the intention.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I don't see your example as dimidiation -- it is a counterchange,<br>
plain and simple. I would assume dimidiation if the 'charge' that is<br>
bisected by the pale line is the left half of one charge and the right<br>
half of a different charge.<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
That's the most frequent case in mundane heraldry, but nothing says you can't have the same charge in each half.<br>
<br>
"Sable, a sun between a tower and (any ol' thing) within a bordure argent, dimidiating Argent, a sun between (any ol' thing) a a tower within a bordure sable."<br>
<br>
Unlikely, I will agree, but not impossible. Considering some of the stuff the SCA/CoH says "has the appearance of marshalling" I'm not ruling out (nearly) anything.<div class="im"><br>

I still believe that marshalling, impaling and dimidiation are all the<br>
same thing, just done in different eras and cultures -- and therefore<br>
must be treated the same.<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
Well, I'd say that impaling and dimidiation are two kinds of marshalling, but that's heading in nit-picky land. ;-)<br>
