I can think of a number of cases where the W3C has ignored the legitimate
concerns of the developer community, and continues to do so as if it were
its prerogative.  I list some that come easily to mind:

1) Confusing abstract entities with Internet accessible content;
2) Putting semantic validation of RDF where it cannot be done practically;
3) Failing to provide a practical and legitimate method of communicating
collections of RDF statements.
