Great as long as it wasn't vital to the game. Plus, FASA would have to
pay for the writing above what they'd pay for what's printed in the sourcebook.
Not to mention extra time dedicated to layout and maybe some art for the
piece (if they wanted to do it right).

FASA doesn't playtest on the net. Aside from the core rulebooks, very little
FASA-coordinated playtesting is done. The authors are generally responsible
for making sure their stuff works.
Besides, Mike is busy enough as it is, he doesn't need the headache of
managing playtests.
