- is about to place the board in an incorrect position
- is sitting at the wrong table
- is pulling cards from the wrong board
- risks misleading opponents because his bidding cards aren't 
well-aligned (so that one more card begins to show)

All of those are irregularities, aren't they ?

L9 explicitly tells "allowed unless forbidden", so the reverse 
interpretation doesn't hold.
