I for one am against the W3C prostituting itself for a few gigantic corporations to take advantage of the rest of society. If you take away the public's right to fair use and fair access to technologies that run the web, all we'll have is a new Television, where the large corporations control what we see, hear, and believe all over again. The small company will be forced to pay homage to the large one, free software will be run out of town. The W3C's vision wasn't this when it began! Don't let something good, honest, and open get perverted into a ridiculous, exclusionary, money-grubbing effort like this. -- Mike Warnecke | Wow, do you really need 500 million IT Manager | instructions per second to balance Audio Warehouse/ | your cheque-book?
