Yes, but those additional restrictions (whether they are minor and/or
reasonable is a debatable subject) are a violation of the current OGL.
And under section 9 of the license OGC published under 1 version of the
OGL can be used in any version of the OGL:

"9. Updating the License: Wizards or its designated Agents may publish
updated versions of this License. You may use *any* authorized version of
this License to copy, modify and distribute *any* Open Game Content
originally distributed under *any* version of this License."
[emphasis (*) mine]

So the your idea is essentially dead in the water - regardless of whether
or not it is correct.
