I applaud the submissions by <a href=

and

Both present convincing arguments against RAND licensing in W3C Recommendations.

It's my firm belief that no Recommendation is preferable to one with RAND (or UFAD
== "UnFair And Discriminatory") licensing by any member of the working group that
developed the Recommendation.
