Agreed, of course. My comment was simply in response to the e-mail from John Shinners. I take your point completely.

Ah, yes, but just because a 13th-century statute mandates a location
(ostio), doesn't mean that 15th-century people did it that way. I found that
in various ways the practice of makign marriages in fifteenth-century London
did not match either thirteenth-century statutes or in some ways the Sarum
liturgy (there evidence suggests that in many cases the liturgy was
simplified: the Sarum liturgy for a nuptial mass, for instance, suggests
that there should be 4 clerks present, which was clearly often not even
possible for ordinary people who had a hard enough time paying the priest
and 1 clerk). People can make rules, but it doesn't mean that everyone
follows them, especially when they're 200-year-old rules.

Seems fairly critical to me.
