Cool, thanks for the clarification. Deleted my comment about nofollows.
This I just found in the HTML for the linked supporters page:
"W3C makes no assurances that sites linked from the Supporters program will see improved ranking in search engine results. W3C instructs search engines to ignore links from the Supporters page."
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not sure what the comment was, they do say as earlier linked in the FAQ that they instruct Search Engines to ignore links. This I just found in the HTML for the linked supporters page: It would appear they are nofollow'ing the links and they should not really be considered 'paid links' WRT increasing pagerank.
In response, Kyle linked me to the Major Supporters page, on which the links themselves do not have the nofollow attribute, so I deleted my comment. However, it seems both Kyle and I forgot to check meta tags, and the links in question are indeed nofollowed.
Good catch. :)
