And I have the answer from the Exhibitions Chairman, Jason Leader.  He points 
out that the Judges Manual covers these irises in Chap. 13 (2000 revision).  
The types specifically discussed are:  multiple petaled flowers, irregular 
color application, variable color patterning, flat-shaped flowers, and variegated 
foliage.   

Thanks to Jason and all who replied.
