I'm not going to waste everyone's time writing a long essay on why I think the RAND proposal is a preposterous idea. I think it has been adequately worded by (amongst others) Alan Cox an Richard Stallman. What saddens me greatly is that this proposal got as far as it did, demonstrating that the W3C must be in serious trouble internally. The way the proposal was quietly rushed past public comment is telling. Please use the massive response agains the RAND proposal as a warning that there are some serious problems within the W3C. Yours Sincerely, Michiel Toneman Technical Director @MSTERDAM http://www.apenstaartje.nl/ The opinions expressed here are entirely my own and do not necessarily reflect those of my employer.
