Marshals have enough to worry about.  It's the same reason we don't
police tennis shoes and the like.  Way too complicated for simple souls
like most marshals.

Marshals have no authority over heraldry.  In an attempt to resolve
problems, they have no more, and no less, recourse to heralds and
autocrats than anyone else.

While it sounds a tad ludicrous, someone who felt wronged, could demand
a court of chivalry from the Crowns.  In theory, a CoC could find
someone guilty of intentional violation of the rules of the SCA and levy
applicable sanction.

Also, a Court of Courtesy could be called.  Such a court could find
someone guilty of intentional discourtesy.  While this kind of court
can't do much in the way of concrete santions, they could issue a PUBLIC
REPRIMAND.  If you think that wouldn't carry any weight, you might not
really understand the SCA.
