As I read it, item (c) of the Selection Factors annex is about whether it is possible to have a "clearly recognisable" image. It does not appear to be talking about whether there is a single visual representation. In fact, on the strength of that, I strike the "six-color version popular since 1979" part of my proposal. Instead, I'd suggest that how implementors represent the rainbow flag is up to them. As you point out, there may be multiple valid ways of representing this single concept. Should it be entered as RAINBOW FLAG, in a generic sense, with the intention that it could be used for many different things, perhaps with an comment about it being a pride flag or an LGBT flag? Or should it be entered as PRIDE FLAG, with it's use as a rainbow flag as noted as a comment?
