Return to Question

So over the past week I've developed Just Another Interpreted Stack-Base Language (JAISBaL for short), and I had a few questions:

• Is there any reason JAISBaL would be illegal to use for the general code-golf tagged challenges? (I've seen other questions asking about introduction of new languages, and the answer to this questions seems to be no, other than the fact that JAISBaL will only be usable on new questions)
• Is it legal to use a custom character encoding (for the most part)? I've seen the Jelly codepage, but I'm not sure if that's a custom encoding or a subset of another standard
• Is it a huge problem if the interpreter must be downloaded? I only really know Java, so that's what I wrote the interpreter in
• How exactly do I go about introducing the language to code-golf? Do I just start answering new questions in the language, or is there some 'registration' I need to go through?

Finally, on a slightly unrelated note, where can I find the full rules for code-golf, the tag popup doesn't seem to provide the full list. For example, is it legal for two people to post an answer in the same language (I've never seen this occur, so that's why I'm asking)?

Thanks to anyone willing to help. I'm new to the code-golf forums and just want to make sure I'm not breaking some sacred cult law or something.

Also, if this is a duplicate, I did search for "new languages," but none of the top questions seemed to have the exact info I needed.
