No flag please.
If I understand correctly (based on public previous experimental designs), everyone sees the same flag, which is not supposed to be a country flag but a generic symbol for localized versions; kind of a generic icon for the native-lang concept. While it would probably be more politically correct to use the NLC logo http://native-lang.openoffice.org/ for this purpose, I personally find that a flag conveys the meaning more directly, at least to me! But I'm certainly not opposed to using the NLC logo if the majority see even the "generic" flag unacceptable.
