I wonder if you could trademark something as vague as "3rd Edition".
They might have found a loophole...that is, you can't use trademarked
terms under the D20 STL, but if a term has meaning in a context and is
not trademarked...
(Other major RPGs have had '3rd editions' as well -- many people in
Runequest fandom refer to editions, and, of course, there's GURPS Third
Edition, and Champions 4th edition...the use of 'nth edition' in a
particular game context is probably not trademarkable.)
