If you aren't interested in a topic, please stop reading and contributing to it when you first judge it's not worth your time or interest. That way, the only person wasting your time is you. Additionally, your tone is simply not acceptable. Terms like "pollution", "pointless", and "you have neither power nor authority to change anything" are not acceptable in reasoned discourse. Shelley has taken pains to state her arguments in a reasonable and polite tone on this thread, and I'll ask you to do the same. Regards- -Doug Schepers W3C Team Contact, SVG and WebApps WGs
