Note that OSI "insist[s] and ask[s]" that the images be linked to their site. So including them in the docs would either go against their wishes/instructions or cause loading problems for off-line viewing. I don't think the problems caused would be serious enough to worry about. If there's no image available, you get a box that says "OSI Approved." I think Dave is right. It is easy enough to try it out to see if the off-line appearance is acceptable.

I think this is also a privacy issue. I for one don't want my web browser to fetch an image from the OSI server every time I open the off-line boost documentation.
I understand why you might not want that, but how is it a privacy issue?
It's a privacy issue because, depending on my browser configuration, someone else might be able to retrace when and for how long I read the Boost documentation. Obviously that data is not as sensitive as my Google search history, but still I don't see why I need to leave behind a digital trail of my activity without a reason. Stephan
