Use of plain text has at least some kind of official status (R2143p4), as well as the weight of considerable game custom. Omission of "the" has neither. See CFJ 1831, particularly Judge Iammars's arguments regarding the effects of characteristic B4. (http://zenith.homelinux.net/cotc/viewcase.php?cfj=1831) > B4.
