I must have misunderstood the question. I thought he was asking about the
level advancement system as presented in the 3ePHB, which is not
redistributable to the best of my knowledge (though you guys may know more
than I on that issue), though you are correct that he can include a level
advancement system of his own devising as long as he does it without the d20
logo.
Is that a fair statement? In reading the docs at OGF's site this is the
impression I got. Just trying to get a good idea of the boundaries of the
OGL and STL.
btw, Thanks to everyone who directed me to the d20 XML project on egroups.
It's exactly what I was looking for. :)

That is incorrect. You can include level advancement and character creation
in an OGL product that does not use the D20 logo. That is per Ryan and the
licenses.
