The Armour Archive's Medieval Combat and Weapons forum ( http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=2 ) has a very illuminating further discussion on the issues this article raises. Participants include the people who put on the Tournament of the Phoenix, as well as some folks who did the full-damage jousting to please the crowds in the past (and have the Major Wounds to prove it).
