I _know_ who writes our specs. In the HTML WG, no major browser vendor has 
provided any editorship or extraordinary contributions since the rebirth of 
the group in 1998.* A considerable majority of the work is provided by an 
individual who is now an invited expert (he left his member-company 
employment in August 1999).

If you're saying the CSS working group has left it's documents in the 
control of 2-3 companies who only desire to codify their current (at times 
questionable) practices, that sounds like a CSS-WG problem, not one endemic 
to HTML-related specs.



* Netscape and Opera have members responsible for a segment of modules for 
XHTML 2.0, but that's a very recent turn of events.
