Rick posted a message recently he intended as a personal contribution, but it may have been interpreted as an official statement. Here is some clarification of what he wrote.
1. His point about compliance and conformance was intended to indicate that using the "savvy" logo would only indicate that the pages used the Unicode encoding; it would not imply that the site had met any other formal conformance criteria. (He did not intend to imply that Unicode does not have conformance clauses; Chapter 3 has many of them!) 2. It would be possible for the consortium to incorporate the Unicode logo into the "savvy" logo, and use weaker permissions than are required for use of the Unicode logo, but that may not be the best way to go because it could cause confusion between the two. Clearly there is a good deal of interest in the physical appearance of the "savvy" logo, and we will take that feedback into consideration!
