The history of this choice is lost in the mists of time. Many other 
proposals were made and discussed at around the same time, to the extent 
that it became clear no one choice could win universal approval.

You are the first person to my knowledge to point out that it is shaped 
like a cross. There is no significance in this shape.

Is there, I ask with some trepidation, a specific point to this question?
