Another tangential question... why item #5?

5.You may use only one of these images per HTML document.

An earlier version of my factoring form had the white image as
background for the whole thing, except the table cell at the very top
which is sort of a title block (that part now has white bricks, and the
rest of the form is plain white). I used the grey image there as
background. It looked really sharp.

Based on #5, I switched to just the white one, to comply, as I don't
want not to be in compliance, but I'm just curious as to why.

Hmm, good question.  IIRC, #5 was written long before backgrounds could be
put into tables.  So the motivation behind #5 wouldn't have been aesthetic,
but rather to limit the ripping off of the images as a collection.  But #4
already addressed that, so #5 doesn't really add anything.

Since it wasn't my intention to prevent uses like the one you described
above, I have deleted #5.  In its place, I added a new one which clarifies
#4 and the word "backgrounds":

   5. You may use these images as background images (for example, page
      backgrounds and table backgrounds) but not as embedded (e.g. <IMG>)
      images.

At first blush, this might sound like a new restriction, but it actually
isn't:  it just defines what is meant by "backgrounds" more precisely.  And
in practice, this won't affect anyone, since no one uses the images via an
<IMG> tag.
