Certainly low mage characters don't have the strength to haul about a =
big shield plus armour food weapons etc. And it seems to me that by =
medium level what with mage plate as well as the mid to high ranked =
defense spells etc etc worrying about a mage with a shield in their of =
hand is just silly.=20
As Rosemary says change for changes sake, beside it would probably just =
see the rise in the number of hands free shields. :-)
I too like the concept that the item in the other hand, (be it weapon, =
shield or what ever) is unprepared.
Simple and intuitive.

3) The effects of MD changes in combat is a completely seperate issue. =
It sounds like we need a clarification paragraph in the rules.
