Beg to differ. If it was flatted in the key-sig and is double-sharped then it is to play 3 semitones higher than normal. If that was transposed into the open key then it would require a triple-sharp or else moving it onto a different staff position (breaking your staff placement rule which turns out to be the same as my "slavishly copy" rule).
