I'm not sure what you mean by "independently".  This scenario certainly 
would work in terms of granting W3C the rights to the content.  The 
"sponsor" approach seems to work partially like this. But I would not 
want to institutionalize an approach where the author throws it over the 
wall to W3C (using the grant you mention below) but does not participate 
in the subsequent dialog about the content.
