My assumption has always been that all holdings are more or less covert.
And that further, the tie between a regent and his holdings is not easily
disrupted by outside regents. As far as I am concerned, the BR realm rules
absolutely cannot stand apart from a dense RPG context. They are far too
skeletal. The direction som DM's have been going, where players RP a build
or contest action, seems the far better direction.

Holdings wars and military wars need heavy role play, or the BR system
breaks down, mostly by moving to desisivly too quickly.
