i don't think: declarer routinely breaks L46A with incomplete 
designations and expects to routinely fall back on L46B2. dummy 
following the same common usage, places played cards according to his 
intentions. as you said, common usage takes precedence over obsolete laws.

my own experience is that all "champions" i have seen, so act (only 
naming suit when playing a low card from dummy), many other players also 
by mimicry; and they categorize as palookas those following L46A.
