I continue to have the same misgivings as most do regarding the problem 
over masquerading. Logotypes just make this so much easier to do because 
they are so attractive to humans. However, this is honestly admitted in the 
security section. If there is anything more that can be done to strengthen 
the warnings or reduce the possibility of misleading logos let's do it. 
Otherwise, I think it is an inevitable and justifyable matter to pursue.
