Have you suggested this to the herald before court, or more generally to
the kingdom herald?  The folks in charge may simply have not thought of
it.  After all, the practice of identifying the scribes in the East was
unheard-of a few years ago, until some bright herald (Arval, I think)
did it once.  Real scrolls are very new to Trimaris; I'm not surprised
that not everyone knows what to do with them yet.

I was going to email this, but the general theme applies more widely:
don't assume the people running things have thought of every detail that
would make the court/tourney/feast/newsletter/whatever more interesting.
Very few people will get huffy at a sincere, polite suggestion -- though
courtesy demands that you not approach the herald as the procession is 
forming, or the cook right before the first remove, and so forth.  Most
people, in my experience, will welcome the input; it's very rare.
