It is the policy of LUGNET database administration that any theme-tree entry
added by a LUGNET database admin that doesn't PHYSICALLY appear on the box or in
marketing materials be enclosed in curly braces to show that it's unofficial.
In this particular case, this allows the user to list all the castle sets from
that era that involve Skeleton Armies versus Knights versus trolls and dwarves
(those often appeared together in the first releases).
This rule hasn't ALWAYS been followed, but it is the prescribed practice. I try
to keep them all in order when I find entries that don't included them.
Note that, in modern times, if we followed the policy to the letter, we'd end up
with theme lists like:
LEGO / { SYSTEM } / { Castle } / Knights' Kingdom
For obvious reasons, we don't do that.
We might also use curly braces around a pc count, to so that it wasn't printed
on the box, but determined through some external means.
Peeron strips them out when it ports over the LUGNET data; but we felt it
necessary and proper to show unofficial (but useful) information that was
demarked as such.
