Yep. Those are questions I asked myself before formulating my ruling. Good points.
EDIT
For the record, I like allowing a cestus to be used to parry one-handed weapon attacks (like the main-gauche) but without hit-stoppage if the attack still succeeds. I'm inclined to deny it a 2-hit stoppage when used with a rapier under Fencer and Two-Weapon talent benefits but I have no strong opinion on the subject...yet :)
Q: Can one wield a one-handed weapon in a hand that is wearing a cestus?
