Re: Proposed Message for CSS Logo Feedback

I think using a poll would provide a reasonable filter so publishing it widely would be fine by me. My primary concern of opening the logo discussion to www-style was be the thrash of a potential thread there, which could go on for a long time.

I'm ok with either you (Doug) or myself sending the message, if you want to send it but add my signature that would be fine too (to show that this has the support of both W3C at large and the CSSWG). There does appear to be an unfinished sentence in your proposed text below though, "especially in providing a keyword in"...?
