Bingo.
This is pretty much my view. Explain the bias/basis for the stats. Hell, enforce a standard for "Published Glorantha". No one has to use it for their games. But if you know how things fit with each other, it is easy to work from. (i.e. - the Hero Book scale or the one in the HQ book, or what have you.)
I'd even say "Published Glorantha" can have NO stats as a standard. Fine. That's the standard. All writers are expected to put no stats or sample resistances in their work.
You could put examples up on glorantha.com. I remember years ago in Dragon magazine they had an article on Beowulf, another on Loki. Each of these articles had some heavy background and then 2-3 different versions of presenting the character in stats. You pick the one that maps your vision best.
