But could not the King publicly state that because a given fighter has blue
eyes 
he's not permitted and still meet the letter of THAT law. It says he must
"state 
cause"...not a GOOD cause. Outside of seeming capricious, I see no
obligation of 
the Crown to publicly make a good case.

I just feel that guidelines should not be made law.  In fact, it's an
example of a good "cause" required under Section 6.4.1.5.1.

The first subsection should combine these three and state something like:
6.4.1.1 Comply with all relevant Crown requirements listed in Corpora.


>6.4.1.2 is only somewhat different from Corpora at present (it's more explicit)

This one's second sentence just isn't stated clearly. It's not at all clear
in 
its meaning even after a third reading. And the third sentence makes the
first 
not necessary.

I would make a small list of disqualifires and include them as examples as
to 
why the Crown could show cause under Section 6.4.1.5.1. and kill subsections

6.4.1.7, 6.4.1.8, and 6.4.1.9.  I'm for giving the Monarch as much power by 
default as possible trusting in him/her to make appropriate decisions.
