Dear W3C, I have always thought "patented standard" to be a contradiction in terms. While I support a corporation's right to profit from its innovation, having the World Wide Web Consortium add its endorsement to such a patent seems wrong. The web owes its very existence to free and open standards. I trust you will choose to affirm this remarkable legacy. Traffic on the "Information Superhighway" has always moved freely. Now is not the time for toll booths. Regards, Mark Turner 1409 Buckingham Road Garner, NC 27529 jmturner@nc.rr.com
