My point centers on doing this in a consortial setting so that the people who do these things with stuff that is likely to get widespread inclusion in widely-used products are able to suffer/benefit from wide input that is without the biases of commerce/academia/author-ego. Although I am still partly of the opinion that much good stuff in this vein gets done by (mostly) individuals working (mostly) alone, such as Josh, Len, Dave Raggett have demonstrated, there is a part of me that still hopes for a form of collaboration that can actually produce something that will attack this in other ways than merely writing lists of guidelines/checkpoints/criteria/techniques/examples. The latter process should be of little interest in my opinion. Sorry for the diversional answer to the query about the charter for YAWG. -- Love. Everyone/everything/everywhere/always connected
