Whilst your proposals may enjoy the support of the majority of the interested 
money in the world, they will be rejected by the majority of the interested 
brain-power - the people who have actually build the web and make it the 
dynamic and exciting place it has become. For them the W3C would become just 
another immoral corporate mouthpiece and they will be forced to use their 
brain power elsewhere. This may be good for big business, but it would not be 
good for the web.

Don't even consider it.
