The law doesn't exactly say a flag must also have a gold cross bottany when displayed. It says the only permissible additional ornamentation is a gold cross bottany. There is a clear difference between the two statements.
It would be like if a company, hospital whatever said that the only jewelry that can be worn is earrings. That's not the same as saying earrings must be worn.
Anonymous,
Correct! ONLY a gold cross bottony. Not an eagle. Not a ball. Nothing but the bottony.
