Not sure the main brand logo (or central visual identity) should be 
linked to versioning. WC3 do a series of verification sites which upon 
compliance issue a [xHTML1.0 compliant] style/type logo. Other examples 
are [made with AROUNDMe] or [e-Trust] type rectangular identifier logos 
which typically link to the specification/software/company. How about an 
[OpenID 2.0] / [OpenID 2.0 compliant] identifier logo which links to the 
OpenID site/specification?
