H.E.L.L.N.O. to R.A.N.D!

Look, this is very simple.

W3 is *not* a group that should be involved in for-profit activities of *any
kind*!

Sure, there can be some folks who want to invent and profit from some kind
of protocols, that's fine and dandy - but it has *nothing* to do with the W3
charter or mission.

W3 is defined as, and needs to remain, a group focusing on *open standards*
that have *absolutely no barriers* for entry by anyone.

Let Microsoft, IBM and others attempt to profit from their inventions on
their own - do not involve W3 in this business!
