Thanks for the suggestion -- you're right that it was ambiguous in that
way. Here's a slight tweak to your tweak:
"This offer of a listing does not imply endorsement of any SAML-based
specification, and the SSTC reserves the right not to list any received
submission."
I feel like I should add "Not valid in Tennessee or wherever such
contests are prohibited" or something. :-)

As written (even given the disclaimer in the final sentence), I could imagine someone parsing the first sentence's clause structure to infer that the "no endorsement" clause applies only to specifications that the SSTC decides not to list.
