[antir-heralds] sinister chief vs. sinister canton

[Susan Wensel]

They are basically two different terms for the same position. However, they
are not identical -- if I were to blazon an object to the upper sinister
side of a primary charge, I would blazon it as in sinister chief.

In general, using in sinister chief is better SCA style than in sinister
canton and leads to less confusion.
