M'lord Ekkehart,
 
  I would encourage you to check into such theme events.  I have not yet 
seen any member omitted from an event.  What I have seen has been the 
_encouragement_ of members to remain within the theme as best as is 
possible.
 
  As with your notion, I concur that no person should be excluded from an 
SCA event for inability to maintain the theme of said event.  If that 
we were to be so strict, then the blatently mundane activities at events, 
such as filke songs to modern tunes would be banished, along with tennis 
shoes and blue jeans.
 
  As it stands, it seems that much is overlooked within the SCA; thus, 
not to worry, friend.  Go and enjoy the event.
