Yes, it was to make N.I. more inclusive.
Bear in mind also that although it is legal to have it incorporated alongside your number plate, if you use a separate one, to fully comply with the law, it has to be a white oval background 18cm x 13.3cm with black lettering. II know a lot of people have in the past, used the more pretty chrome letters but they are not legal.
I have stuck my sticker onto a shaped aluminium plate to which I have bolted a couple of 15mm water pipe clips to the reverse.
It simply clips onto one of the rails on my luggage rack when needed.
