So you admit that the intention _is_ to make ISO HTML different from HTML 3.2 after all. There will be debates on the _desirability_ of this and that feature instead of just writing up a more rigorous specification. Probably endless debates. (A somewhat naive comment from someone, saying we want MATH, sounds promising in this sense. Still, I'm a bit sad about wasted human resources. People involved would certainly be competent to do very useful things.) > ISO HTML is not for the people who who are confused about HTML 2.0, 3.0 > etc. ISO HTML is for the corporations and governments - - Really? Does it say so? It is really beneficial for the World Wide Web community to have a different standard for corporations and governments than for the rest of us? What kind of standardization is that?
