Thank you so much!

Just one little problem: I took one good look at the flag on Wikipedia and
knew something was... different. The blue and yellow colors are switched. I
did some online searches and still cannot come to a conclusion as to which
one is correct. See, nobody flies that flag around here anymore. :) I based
my PNG flag and shield on this Japanese book about the Ryukyu flag:
http://www.tsuboya.org/catalog/images/a00818.gif. In case the book is
correct, would it be all right to ask you to modify the SVG flag
accordingly?

Anyhow, I've raised the issue for discussion in Wikipedia
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ryukyu_Islands) and will be going to the
local libraries and museums to do some more research.

Further as available.
