Unfortunately, Microsoft's monopoly, and the fact that he is a co-chair of this WG, puts Chris Wilson and IE in a very dangerous and influential position that could, if he gets his way, seriously undermine the work of the HTMLWG, the WHATWG and the web standards community at large. I do not intend to be overly antagonistic, but Chris Wilson and the IE team need to comprehend the situation, and understand that nothing good can come from their failure to co-operate reasonably. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
