To be clear: I *like* Carol's suggestion of using the OASIS brand, for 
the reasons she said. In addition, it seems fair to give OASIS 
recognition for OpenDocument. So, I would propose that the competition 
specifly that the logo use the OASIS brand.

I do think we need to make at least one change: add the word "compliant" 
somewhere on the logo.

Cheers,
Daniel.
