Of course they willl come up fairly often at the game table at present as being one of the 3 skills a character has they will try to lever them in to any occasion. However something like a Spot check will be made at the start of many if not most encounters, and with the best will in the world that is not going to happen with Heraldric Lore etc.
My solution would be to give all 1st level character a Lore skill like they already do with Clerics and Mages e.g a Fighter might choose from Heraldric, Historical or Local Lore, and give 3 more genericaly useful skills to the Backgrounds.
