	Musings of Alasdair McKay:
		In the N.S. flag, which dates from the 1620s, the blue and white are of course reversed.
		Although not a technological consideration in flag making, such conventions were followed quite strictly in flags, other that naval ensigns (even by people like George Washington) up until the emergence of new nations in the post WW2 era of the 20th century.
		It is also interesting that the Nova Scotia flag is the only emblem whereon one can properly display the Scottish Lion Rampant separated from other components of the post-1603 Royal Arms and on occasions when the monarch is not present in person.
