[so: I think this might be caused by an extra space before the encoded
ellipsis.]

[so: A ruling on hyphenated (or not) compass points would be a welcome
addition to the MoS.]

[so: I think the original hypenated form is OK here.]

[so: I think we decided before to leave occurrences of 'Grand Mastership',
although it is a weird phrase.]

[so: The original is probably a UK variant. 'Vanished without trace' is quite
acceptable.]

[so: I think capitalising King is probably best in this instance because it is
talking about a specific King; it's not a general term.]

[so: It's onomatopoeia and should be encoded as such. There are no real rules
governing onomatopoeic words since they're all made up! ;-)]

[so: My own pref is the second one since Pathsmanship is a Magnakai Discipline.]
