Okay. It's good to have some consistency.

I'll describe how i attempted to handle this problem in Bluesky 2.0 --
just as a starting point for ideas. Please post on whether this
sounds reasonable, feel free to suggest better ways or policies, etc.
- The theme has its own footer on its configuration page. This
footer contains the CC license message and the 11 CFR message.
- This message has to announce who is paying for the site. The
"[SPONSOR]" variable is substituted into the 11 CFR message
from the "Sponsor" field, another setting in the theme config.
- An admin can change or erase the theme footer, but there's an
explanation under the text box that recommends keeping the CFR
message, with a link to the relevant section of the FEC site.
- Both the site footer (from the site configuration page) and
the theme footer appear together at the bottom of the page.

That's still an open question.
At the moment all i know about is 11 CFR 110.11(a)(1)(iii). See
http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_03/11cfrv1_03.html
It may be wise to hardcode this into themes. I don't know.
Does anyone know of other requirements?
