Thanks Peter, these are things that worried me too.

We would need stylesheet mods to accompany this.
Have you already done that for your local build?
If so, please send patches.

We also need "alt" as one of the logo parameters,
probably required.

Unfortunately I use a different stylesheet. You should be able to extract it 
from the style I just sent though. I don't feel game enough to touch the 
forrest skin :)

I think I just put "{$name} logo". But it could be nice to put taglines with 
em. ie "Ant - the only bug you want near your code" or similar.
