The working group's "informed analyses" haven't proven especially convincing in the past, nor has it been clear in the past that the members of the working group share many values with us 'folk in the field'. Most of those discussions took place a long time ago, and I don't even know if the WG has had much continuous membership since then, but the XLink WG doesn't have an especially sterling record, at least from this observer's perspective. (Yes, I have noticed the much-improved public reply to comments.) I'd like the opportunity to make up my own mind, without expectation that the WG's learned majority can do my thinking for me.
