Actually, that reminds me of something I've been wondering about the end of The Mirador - they can't execute Mildmay because of the binding-by-forms, and yet at Felix's trial they can't execute him for heresey because of the effect it will have on Mildmay. It seems like a perfect "two birds with one stone" situation (they can execute them both at the same time) and I was wondering why they didn't take it. Because it's legally a grey area? Ot because Mildmay's gone some way towards restitution with his actions at the end of the book?
