File:Flag Of Taiwan Proposed 1996.svg
Currently, since Taiwan is a de facto independent state under the official name Republic of China (ROC), the official flag of Republic of China is still commonly used by the majority of Taiwanese people. The Taiwan government as of 2006, even though ruled by the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party, was still using the official ROC flag (which can be seen at Image:Flag of the Republic of China.svg).
This proposed flag should be used with caution, and only when it is intentional and specific to indicate something related to the Taiwan Independence Movement. For other routinely common usage to represent Taiwan at the present time, use the official flag of Republic of China.

Further improvements to geometry by user:Finlay McWalter - Make the straight edges of the petals tangential to the circular endcaps, avoiding an evident change of gradient at their intersection). Put petals into their own Sodipodi/Inkscape layer.
