I think Ryan did a pretty good job of describing ways to clearly mark open
and closed material in the Q&A section of the OGL. Here's what he said:
Q: How do I indicate what is "Open Game Content"?
A: The exact method is up to you. You are required to "clearly" do so.
Assume a "reasonable person" standard - if a reasonable person would be able
to determine what is Open Game Content, your method will be acceptable.
Q: Do you have any suggestions as to how to do that?
A: Two simple methods recognized by the Open Gaming community (but by no
means the only possible methods) are to place Open Game Content in boxed
text and indicate in the publication that the boxed text content is Open
Game Content; or place Open Game Content in a unique font, color or style
not elsewhere used in the publication and indicate that any material in that
unique font, color or style is Open Game Content.

That was what "3 Days to Kill" did and I think I remember Ryan saying he was
fine with it...do I remember correctly sir?
