It is not the W3C's place to promote proprietary standards. The owners of those standards must bear the burden of promoting them. Admitting liscensed-for-royalty standards into W3C reccommendations is highly discriminatory. It is offensive to the W3c constituency: the people who are the citizens on the internet that make the network useful. Software patents are criminal and the W3C must not tacitly agree to their use and enforcement. -Robert Ellis
