Hello,

For indicating compliance of a WWW page to various standards and recommendations,
or to support campaigns, usually "88 × 31 Micro Bars" (in the parlance of the
above-mentioned page) are used. None of the Unicode logos does comply with this
de-facto standard.
Personally, I use the UniEncTrans.gif logo alongside with standard 88×31 Bars,
e. g. in <http://www.uni-konstanz.de/ZE/RZ/Antivirus/TVD/SB/VSC451/#about>:
Though not standard size, it is not too distracting in a row of 88×31 Bars.
Indeed, I would prefer a Unicode-encoded logo in standard 88×31 size for my
WWW pages. Any artists to volunteer?
Best wishes,
Otto Stolz
