regrets

regrets,

it is with profound regret that I find my other commitments prevent me  
from contributing further to developments at W3C.

I had always felt that w3c's reliance on commercial funding distorted  
the progress of specifications.
Most particularly in respect of the needs of the end-user and  
particularly the less literate, including the large community of  
people with learning disabilities.

Communication is most successful when it is a two-way process, this  
requires that specifications are rigorously tested to ensure that all  
users are enabled to author and publish on an equal footing, as far as  
is reasonable and possible.

Instead guilds are developing who's self interest has rather different  
motivations.

regards
