Aderabbah They have to conform - but there is just a limit on the how
to conform due to sh'vus.

I think the principle works fine absent the sh'vus issue. See my point
about cow's horn.

Maybe so - but BY consistenly quotes the Ran not Tosafos. I'm not sure
if Ran's construction is identical to Tosafos or not.

Maybe so but maybe lav davka

See kaf hachayyim on
The following controversial brachos

Seder 4 cups: 2 Vs. 4 brachos

Tefillin 1 bracha or 2 (also in ben ish chai)

Kaf Hachayyim notes: that b'makom sheyeish minhag, that "s'feiq brachos
lekulah" is waived.
