I don't like it.

Sounds good to me.

Not in the default template, but maybe in a more advanced CSS template.

I think suggestion #2 is best for the default template. It doesn't rule
out #3 for another template and with the right CSS #2 can do the same
thing as #3, i.e. not show the text (flag) but show the things you
suggested in your CSS.

Sincerely,
Fredrik.
