It is possible that there was a clause in each Oath that the criminal wouldn't remove it unless given permission by the Hall.
It seems like that would require 2 oaths - one not to repeat the offense, and one not to remove the first oath. And, the impression I have is that AoL criminals only swore one oath (didn't Sammael sort of imply that, when he was talking about the Ageless look to Graendal?).
But it's possible, I agree. In fact, RJ may very well have given such an answer, if someone had challenged him re why his TAR oath rod response would have made Binders worthless in the AoL.

I'm think Mesaana's hand is quicker than the eye

Nup. Unlike the FS, her mark will not allow her to order Darkspawn (plus more). *NM*

Right, and also ...

Except that the best way to 'defeat' the Oath rod is - not to take the Oaths at all

Another interesting possibility

I'd say it was highly unlikely that the Binder/Oath Rod works that way. *NM*
