The probability of this proposal being withdrawn is minimal. It's obviously drafted by US lawyers for other US lawyers and they'd be really stupid to back down from this huge source of future profits. The relevant outcome (besides making a few US lawyers rich) will be either that W3C will die and the web will develop on its own in chaos until the next standards body emerges, or that the W3C survives and the web dies. The only thing the world (first 'w' in "www") can hope for is that the new standards body is based outside the US, in some country where common sense hasn't been sued yet. //art
