""" An MBA should be able to tease this out a bit more effectively –  
any decision only requires that you have answers for five questions:  
why? what? how? when? who?
Answering these for pushing the web forward is straightforward, even  
on a simplistic level:

...How?: we could try asking the W3C to do it, but they don’t have  
any power. When they’ve been left to their own devices, the W3C has  
failed. Miserably. Over and over and over again. Instead, browser  
makers should introduce new stuff and then agree to agree on it (via  
the W3C or similar organizations)."""

It's not just a marketing problem, of course :)

Cheers,
