Fédération Internationale Féline :: Breeding and Registration Rules(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
Official pedigrees from independent organisations may be accepted in the LO or RIEX registers, providing they conform with the previous requirements, and after having been controlled with regard to genetic principles.
Cats resulting from the crossing of two breeds with reference to article “Description of the experimental pedigree book «RIEX»”, will be registered in the RIEX register providing the breeding committee of the FIFe member has granted permission to the cross breeding.
Cats with unknown background may be registered in the RIEX register providing the breeding committee of the FIFe member has granted permission to the registration.
It is possible to automatically transfer a cat from the RIEX to the LO register if the requirements for the LO register are respected.
However, the national breeding committee of the importing FIFe member may decide to upgrade the cat to the LO register or downgrade the cat to the RIEX register according to their own regulations, see article "National registration".
The term VAR may be added to the EMS code to indicate that a shorthair cat carries or may carry the gene for longhair.
You make a good point with the connection to Camus.
Think about when Riex reveals himself as the real author, we know Riex is the author through the book, at least it could be inferred, but there's something about Riex addmittance of authorship that also connects him to camus...
Oh and you might want to explore the connection between Riex and Panteloux, I find that a little more interesting.
